The Pi Brew
It’s that time again. We’re back with an all new Morning Brew. Juicy wrestling rumors are brewing involving the possibility of both CM Punk and Daniel Bryan heading to AEW. That, for sure, could potentially change the landscape of professional wrestling. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks took home the NBA Championship after downing the Phoenix Suns in six games. The Greek Freak was just too much for the Suns, dropping 50 points in the series-clinching game. We have this and so much more for you in today’s Brew.
Daniel Bryan to AEW?
Check out my latest Exclusive:

I’m sure he’s not the only one that would feel this way
I think my organs would shut down with joy if CM Punk and Bryan Danielson did suddenly appear in an AEW ring 😂
I’d love to see them anywhere to be fair, but wow.

The Packers are in trouble
It’s not just Aaron Rodgers: The #Packers and star WR Davante Adams have broken off long-term extension talks. There are no current plans to resume them. The two sides have been negotiating for months, but they are now in a bad place, sources say. First the QB, now the No. 1 WR.
