“We’re back at it and we’re back to the drawing board,” Punk said, h/t to The Daily Star for the transcription. “So it’s up to him. He floated me [an idea] and we’re kind of going back and forth on it right now. I’m at the point where I kind of want to get something on paper. You might hear an announcement in the coming weeks. There’s no timetable, though.”
