Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com discussed the CM Punk/AEW talks and if Cody Rhodes and Punk are working fans. Here is what Meltzer said courtesy of WrestlingNews.co:
“This is not a work. He [Punk] doesn’t wanna wrestle.”
“They want him, they’ve contacted him and he isn’t interested. They made another pitch for this pay-per-view and I’m sure they’ll try to make another pitch for [the TNT show] and he says no. That’s where it stands.”
Meltzer also responded to fans on Twitter regarding the situation:
Things can change tomorrow, but I can factually tell you as of two days ago you'd be way wrong. https://t.co/bkycSgFcBe

I pity people who think that. I literally have a code that doesn't allow that. https://t.co/zQjKx86SWo
