Montez Ford has addressed the possibility of his fellow Chicago native CM Punk returning to WWE after being fired by AEW.
Punk was terminated “with cause” from AEW after an investigation into the backstage incident at All In.
Speaking on Fox’s The Happy Hour podcast, Ford said:
“If they asked my opinion on it, I’m so open to every single aspect, talent in the world, whether they come from all walks 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.”
CM Punk recently caused a bit of a stir during his return to CFFC commentary as he said he has “some time on his hands for the next two months”.
It’s unclear exactly what that means, but some fans got excited about the possibility of him returning to WWE for November’s Survivor Series which takes place in, you guessed it, Chicago.
As it stands though, there’s no confirmation on any details regarding whether Punk has a non-compete clause or how long it would be if he does.
