[WOR] Meltzer on likelihood of Austin vs Punk: As soon as that story came out, I heard from a bunch of people who were pretty close in, and they said that ‘we probably shouldn’t be worried about them doing that one’

Full quote:

As soon as that story came out, I heard from a bunch of people who were pretty close in, and they basically said that ‘we probably shouldn’t be worried about them doing that one,’ because it basically, you know it’s not anything that anyone’s talked about to any degree. I mean, it could happen, and it makes sense, but maybe you know.

As of right now, Austin hasn’t been approached. He’s not in. I’m not saying he won’t be and that is not their direction. I’m not saying that’s like some people thought the same thing you did. ‘Hey, maybe we could do it’…..I would just say it’s premature. I wouldn’t say it’s never going to happen (either).
