Eric Bischoff Dares AEW To Book “Piece Of Garbage” CM Punk Vs. Goldberg

Could CM Punk Vs. Bill Goldberg be the main event for AEW’s much-anticipated All In Pay-Per-View?

AEW All In was announced earlier this month and the promotion’s first event in the UK has seen strong pre-sale signs ups so far.

There has been speculation among fans that the show will feature the in-ring return of CM Punk, who is tentatively expected to return to programming this year.

During an episode of his “Strictly Business” podcast, Eric Bischoff talked about Punk’s possible return and laid out a challenge to Tony Khan. He said,

“I think Wembley’s gonna do great, with or without Punk. I would prefer, if I was Tony Khan, to do it without Punk. Because that makes a real statement, right? Who drew the house? Did AEW draw the house, or did CM Punk draw the house? … I would absolutely not book CM Punk on that show, even though I would know that doing so would ensure more sales. I wouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t sell my soul to that piece of garbage.

“Book CM Punk and Bill Goldberg. You want to book something that’s gonna sell out Wembley? Book that. Bill Goldberg’s last match, against CM Punk. Dare you. Dare you. Grab your balls, TK.”

During the ROH Supercard of Honor post-show media scrum, Tony Khan said that signing Goldberg would be “interesting for AEW.”

AEW All In will take place on Sunday, August 27, at Wembley Stadium, in London, England.
