The latest regarding CM Punk and Daniel Bryan reportedly heading to AEW

While there still is no confirmation that CM Punk and Daniel Bryan have signed with AEW, neither wrestler nor AEW have denied the reports up to this point.

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted that according to a WWE source, the internal belief is that CM Punk has already signed with AEW. Meltzer wrote the following regarding CM Punk possibly being signed…

“There are a number of things going on behind-the-scenes that would indicate that, but nobody in AEW has confirmed it, and of course, they won’t until the decision is made for them to go public with something of that magnitude.”

In regards to Bryan, Meltzer mentioned that Bryan and AEW have been talking for months but Bryan is said to be taking the summer off from wrestling. Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net, who broke the story about Bryan, wrote the following about Bryan’s talks with AEW…

“I was told that internally it was first discussed to bring him in back in May following his contract expiring with WWE. However no discussion or negotiations were happening at that time, it was purely conjecture then. Talks and negotiations between the two sides did not actually begin until sometime over the last couple of weeks.”
