The CM Punk watch is back on.
Nobody knows where he’ll end up, but it sounds like IMPACT Wrestling may still be in the mix.
Punk is, after all, friends with the Anthem Sports (IMPACT’s parent company) VP of Marketing & Live Events for IMPACT Wrestling, Lou D’Angeli.
Fightful Select dropped a bombshell of a report about CM Punk, mostly pertaining to WWE, however, and interesting tidbit about IMPACT Wrestling was revealed:
“In case you wondered, it seems like the IMPACT locker room would be in favor of him appearing there, as he made a good impression visiting backstage months ago. That’s highly unlikely, but still an option.”
On August 27th at AEW All In, Punk was involved in yet another backstage altercation. However, this one would be different than those in the past in various ways. Namely, Punk not only fought with Jack Perry, he also reportedly lunged at AEW president Tony Khan while furiously quitting the company.
Punk and Perry were both suspended following this altercation, and then subsequently terminated, with cause, despite Punk’s drawing power.
Later, CM Punk was fired from All Elite Wrestling as a result of the incident.
While a non-compete clause is not clear, IMPACT Wrestling could be a potential landing spot for CM Punk, and there is a belief he could walk into the IMPACT with open arms tomorrow if everything worked out.
Josh Alexander & The Rascalz recently said they would welcome Punk into IMPACT Wrestling.
Current IMPACT Wrestling talent Bully Ray also spoke on the idea recently.
What happens with CM Punk remains to be seen, but Bodyslam will definitely be keeping a close eye on the situation.
