CM Punk TNA Wrestling Scrapped Plans Revealed

WWE/TNA Wrestling

Former TNA Wrestling World Champion Moose has revealed details of scrapped plans involving WWE star CM Punk.

According to the current X-Division Champion, there were plans for a feud in TNA Wrestling during his time as World Champion.

Moose revealed the scrapped plans in a recent post on Twitter, before dropping a “who knows” as a potential tease for a future match with CM Punk in WWE.

The TNA star would reveal the details of what might have been had CM Punk signed with the company, tweeting:

“So while I was World Champ there were plans of Punk coming to TNA and us feuding.

“Punk vs Lesnar from SS2013 is one of my favorite matches ever.

“I was looking forward to recreating something just as awesome. But obviously, it never happened but who knows.

“Shout out to @CMPunk GOAT.”

The post would be accompanied by a picture of Moose and CM Punk which can be seen here.

In August 2013 WWE Summer Slam, Brock Lesnar beat CM Punk in a No Disqualification match.

Moose didn’t specify which title reign he was set to face Punk during. His most recent reign as TNA World Champion lasted from January to July 2024, during which time WWE and TNA Wrestling established a working relationship.

His previous title reign prior to this spanned from October 2021 to April 2022, during which time Punk would’ve been with AEW, who previously had a partnership with TNA Wrestling.

In November 2023, the then-IMPACT Wrestling President Scott D’Amore said the “door is open” after it was reported that Punk was backstage at a show in October of that year.

Punk would make his return to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 25, 2023.

Moose has recently appeared on NXT, going on to face Oba Femi at Roadblock on March 11, 2025, for the NXT Championship.
