Did CM Punk have negotiations with AEW officials?

A couple of weeks ago, AEW superstar and official Cody Rhodes sat down with talkSPORT where he revealed that he and other officials had multiple negotiations with CM Punk to bring him in AEW, but they were never serious. “As far as the CM Punk negotiations go, everyone heard the famous ‘he got a text from us’. Yeah, of course, there were negotiations and he did ask for a great amount of money and Punk is worth a great deal of money,” Cody Rhodes said. Cody Rhodes then said that he and Tony Khan have a great relationship with CM Punk and at the end of the day “it’s not so much about the money,” its whether CM Punk wants to perform or not.
