WWE Could Renew CM Punk’s Contract Without His Permission

[Silkk]

According to a new report in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there might be a way for WWE to renew CM Punk's contract with, or without his permission.

There is a clause in each Superstar's contract that states the WWE may be able to renew a deal if the wrestler has been injured for a period of time, and the company feels they owe them dates they were previously unable – or "unwilling" in Punk's case – to work. As we reported earlier, there is precedent for the idea, as Vince McMahon recently renewed Rey Mysterio's contract when it was set to expire, as Mysterio has missed most of the last year due to multiple injuries.

The plus side to this for WWE is that it keeps CM Punk from working for any other company while he is under contract to them. The downside is that they would have to continue to pay him during that period of time. It might be worth it from their end, but we should know one way or the other in July when his contract officially expires.

I'm sure CM Punk is gonna be upset that he gets to hang out in Chicago and do nothing while still getting paid very well. Eager to see how the anti-Punk Contingent is going to spin this into an L.

The Rebel won, he got the Authority spooked that he could join JJ's Globo Gym or KKKerwin White's UFC. Meanwhile Punk's fanbase still lost as they wish they could be paid at least for some some Vasoline and Tissues so they can nut over boy booty AJ.

shyts like Return of the Jedi. The Rebel won :bitw:

Rey can still help them with the Mexico market though since Sin Cara failed to be the next Mysterio that way & with appearences. Plus Rey probably still pushes a decent amount of merch.

I'm sure Punk can't wait to stop enjoying his millions of dollars in his hometown to go work in TNA for a fraction of his old salary on shows that are more stupidly booked than WWE


They need to do this shyt so they can give him more free money to do nothing.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

He's in breach of contract NOW and isn't getting paid because of it. Why would they all of a sudden start paying him again? Would they be required to because they renewed the deal?

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

All they have to do is build someone with great in ring skill and give em an official t-shirt

and probably wont have to pay a yearly 7 figures to do it

lmao, where the fuk else is punk gonna go? tna? njpw? roh? dude has retired wrestling, the only side winning in this would be punk with the free checks he's getting to stay home.

Based Punk is not bout to go wrestle in front of 200 fans every night at TNA

1. Guys with great in-ring skill and great mic talent don't just grow on trees.

2. When WWE does come across these guys they usually waste em anyway.
