PWInsider.com is reporting that WWE has initiated new contract talks with CM Punk less than a year into his current three-year deal with the company.
The website states that the company is looking to lock in Punk’s services with a bigger deal than he currently has based on the big ratings, merchandise, and social media numbers he is pulling.
It was stressed that this was something that WWE has started and not Punk himself.
Punk is said to be extremely happy in WWE and is a completely different man from the last time he was in the company. The former WWE and AEW champion has been mentoring others and also pops down at NXT from time to time.
The Chicago native made his surprise return to WWE in November of last year at the Survivor Series, just months after he was fired from AEW.
