Report: FOX "Very Upset" WWE Didn't Try And Sign CM Punk

WWE's TV partner, FOX, were reportedly "very upset" that Vince McMahon's company didn't try and re-sign CM Punk. Punk returned to professional wrestling in AEW last week after seven years away from the ring and he is going to be full-time in the promotion going forward, with his first...

Fuck Punk

When isn’t Fox upset at this point?

I’m gonna be honest. WWE didn’t try and sign him, as they knew he wouldn’t come back. So I can’t say I blame them, as it would’ve been a waste of time lol.

What a surprise

So USA is upset they pretty much give FOX Becky and Brock and now FOX is pissed about not getting Punk... yea, this brand thing will be truly dead again in a couple of weeks.

I dunno... if they'd have offered him a pretty good deal, he probably would have consider it. I do think it's understandable that FOX is pissed, if they actually had not even bothered going for him. It's not really a good business decision to say "Eh, he won't sign anyways, so let's not bother".

If this us true and that's a big IF.

Fox is a bunch of words that'll get me in trouble tbh.

Dude didn't make numbers on Fox sports ffs

FOX probably thought it was in the bag when they signed him as an analyst and think WWE fumbled the ball

 

[Dale]

He left what, in 2014? So that's like a 5/6 year window they could have made a play for him before AEW became a thing if they really wanted him but obviously they didn't.

They wouldn't have had a chance in signing him over the last year though however.

On the flip side, whether they wanted him or not, I doubt Punk would’ve gone back anyway.

Nothing really for FOX to be upset about. Because honestly, the ball was always in Punk’s court. He just wasn’t interested in playing for that team.

I agree with you though, regardless of FOX's opinion of them signing him as an analyst I do agree with you the chances of him returning to wrestle for WWE were still very low in my book

 

[Lady Redfield]

What makes them think he was gonna sign there? Lol

 

[Necro]

Shows you that Fox has no clue, Punk would rather not wrestle every again than work for the WWE ever again.

 

[Deezy]

Fox has no clue?.....then WWE found their real network, bleed them money marks.

There are so many reports of FOX and USA Network being unhappy at WWE over every little thing that I find it difficult to believe any of it now. WWE, FOX and everyone else knows that CM Punk would never sign with WWE again. FOX signed the guy to use on WWE Backstage knowing that he didn't want to get back in to the WWE ring. It would have been a waste of effort by WWE to offer CM Punk anything.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Fucking lol. Yeah, WWE's gonna try and sign the guy who under no uncertain terms hates Vince McMahon, Triple H, and the entire corporate structure of the company.

A reminder that FOX is still owned by that fucking goon Rupert Murdoch who is always in a perpetual state of fucking anger and hatred over anything that isn't him. So I'm not surprised FOX is angry.

USA Network being mad is fucking hilarious though when RAW for better or worse is one of their top-drawing shows regardless of how bad the product has gotten.
