According to this week's Observer Newsletter, another reason for FOX recently being upset with WWE over CM Punk signing with AEW was due to WWE turning down FOX's offer to help cover the costs of any new deal with Punk.
WWE claimed Punk was asking for too much money while FOX said that wouldn't be an issue since they'd give WWE some more money to help secure the deal. After rejecting FOX's help, WWE then said there were other reasons why they didn't want him which led to FOX being upset in the end.

But WWE officials then said there were other reasons they didn’t want him, the attitude issues and such.
