CM Punk Restricted from Discussing AEW Due to Signed NDA – CM Punk’s return to WWE on RAW saw a notably different approach than some might have expected. Instead of delving into any references or comments about AEW or his time there, in his promo Punk focused on personal growth, emphasizing how he has evolved as a person, aiming to showcase his continued prowess in the ring, and expressing a sense of returning home to WWE.
In the realm of professional wrestling, the approach to addressing rival promotions varies significantly. While talents in other promotions might take jabs at WWE or its executives, the perspective within WWE often leans towards a stance of not acknowledging or directly referencing other promotions. There’s a prevailing belief that the top wrestling promotion need not engage in public discourse with those considered beneath them.
Adding complexity to Punk’s situation are reported past conflicts with individuals in AEW, including altercations with The Elite and Jack Perry, evident in the brawl at All Out 2022 and backstage altercations at All In.
Dave Meltzer’s report in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter sheds light on an additional layer to this scenario. According to Meltzer, Punk and others involved have signed several non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) regarding discussing AEW or individuals associated with the promotion publicly. This legal agreement likely restricts Punk from addressing or speaking openly about his time, experiences, or issues within AEW.
Given these circumstances, Punk’s deliberate choice to avoid mentioning AEW or any related incidents during his return promo might stem from contractual obligations and legal constraints outlined in these NDAs.
