There was a time when WWE fans were hopeful to see a match between CM Punk and Steve Austin. However, they got closest to seeing it during a promotional segment for the WWE ’13 video game. The segment featured a sitdown interview with Jim Ross where the two exchanged words in character.
Fightful Select is reporting that there were several people in the company pushing for the possibility of a match between Austin and Punk. Per the report, Punk and WWE even had discussions about the possibility.
The report noted, “As of now, we’re told many in WWE are hopeful and even optimistic that the match could finally be put together.”
A source said many ideas have already been floated between Punk and WWE. Things get interesting, though, as the ideal scenario would see Punk flying to Texas or Los Angeles to go over ideas with Austin.
The report continued, “One source indicated that while that is the “ideal scenario,” there’s a lot to get through first. Those close to Austin say that they’ve never heard him mention any personal issues that the two would need to get over, and actually indicated that they drop messages to each other a couple of times a year or so.”
