Montez Ford would be happy to see CM Punk back with WWE.
CM Punk remains the talk of the wrestling town despite currently being a free agent. Punk’s time with AEW came to a controversial end in the days after All In after it was revealed he’d been involved in an altercation with Jack Perry and had a heated exchange with Tony Khan.
With AEW desperate to move on, Punk has mainly kept a low profile, although he did get people talking while appearing on the commentary team for CFFC 125. The star referenced having time on his hands for the next two months, a comment some took to mean until Survivor Series, which is taking place just outside of Chicago.
Appearing on The Happy Hour, tag team star Montez Ford was asked what he would say if WWE wanted his opinion on bringing Punk back.
“If they asked my opinion on it, I’m so open to every single aspect, talent in the world, whether they come from all works of life. I feel like everyone has something to bring to the table. Believe it or not, whether people love this individual or not, and this goes for any WWE superstar, if they are generating buzz and generating topics and generating people talking, that’s all good for business.
I love to be the person to always welcome someone back with great arms. If he wants to make his way back this way, I guess we can have a battle and see who is the best person from Chicago,”
WWE Reportedly Open To CM Punk Return
From WWE’s end, it’s been reported that the company hasn’t closed the door on a CM Punk return. The belief is that if WWE feels business can be done and there’s money to be made, it will find a way to get a deal over the line.
