The wrestling world is abuzz with the possibility of CM Punk and Bryan Danielson coming to AEW. While we don't know for sure if this is going to happen, Malakai Black revealed in an interview with Sean Waltman on Pro Wrestling 4 Life that even the AEW locker room is buzzing with rumors and speculation.
“I genuinely, genuinely do not know if it’s true. I genuinely don’t. I haven’t heard anyone mention it. Obviously, there’s a buzz in the locker room, of course. I think it’d be great. I think it really proves that the times are changed. I think it would be a validation of how different everything is and how...different the business is now.”
“I want everybody to be successful. I want all my friends in WWE to be able to provide for their families. I want all my friends and colleagues in AEW to be able to provide for their families. That’s what I care about. And if someone like CM Punk goes over to AEW, that’s great for business. That’s good for all of us because it gives the fans something to work with....It puts a fresh wind in everyone’s sails....Deep down, I hope it’s true. I think that’d be very, very cool to see and very cool to see how the world of professional wrestling will react to it...Exciting times, you know what I mean? Very, very exciting times.”
Whether it's true or not, it seems as though everything's being kept very hush-hush, even among AEW wrestlers themselves.
Do you think we'll see CM Punk and/or Bryan Danielson in AEW?
