WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff took to an episode of his Strictly Business podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how there is still equity in CM Punk as a character and how WWE does not need him, but Punk could be an asset to the company.
Bischoff said, “No, not surprised. But also, I wouldn’t be surprised if that situation changes down the road. Do I still believe that there is equity or value in Phil Brooks as the character CM Punk? Yes I do. Does WWE need him? Absolutely they don’t. Do they need him, no, but could he be an asset? Yes. I think the only way that could happen is if there was a significant meeting of the minds and convincing that the baggage that has come in the past with Phil Brooks is going to be left somewhere else and not brought into WWE.”
Bischoff also talked about how if Punk can prove to the decision makers in the WWE that he can put all his past baggage behind him, then business can happen between them.
“If Phil Brooks the person can convince the other person in WWE that’s making that decision, that the character of CM Punk can show up at the doorstep without all of the baggage that comes with him? I think there is business to be had.”
