Billy Corgan Thinks AEW & CM Punk Will Work Out Their Issues

Smashing Pumpkins frontman and NWA owner Billy Corgan recently spoke to Steve Fall's Ten Count about numerous topics, including the fallout between AEW and CM Punk. Corgan believes that a reconciliation is possible between the two sides, explaining:

"I would be hard pressed to imagine [Punk] would want to come to the NWA given his other opportunities. Certainly, there are other companies that are bigger and can offer him a bigger payday. I'd be surprised if he leaves AEW. I've heard those rumours too, but I just imagined that it would be worked out. So until it's official, I'll just assume that he's going to stay and they're going to figure it out - because I think he's a benefit and a bonus to them.

"I think the same in reverse. I think they've done a good thing of bringing him back to professional wrestling where he belongs, because he's such an immensely talented guy. [...] For all we know, it's just part of a bigger negotiation going on behind the scenes that he's gonna leave, and he's still gonna stay. It's wrestling. So why wouldn't we think it's an angle on some other level? I tend to look at those things sideways. Plus, I also don't want to be in the business of trying to openly recruit people who work for other companies. I don't like when people do it to me. I could name names, but I just think when people are under contract, that should be respected as best as possible."
