A top star says he would welcome CM Punk in IMPACT Wrestling.
The wrestling world has been speculating on where fans will see CM Punk show up next after being fired “with cause” from All Elite Wrestling last month.
While many believe he will make his inevitable return to WWE, there are many more viable options in the wrestling world than when Punk left Vince McMahon’s promotion in 2014.
In a new interview with WhatCulture, former IMPACT World Champion Josh Alexander was asked if Punk would be welcomed into an IMPACT Wrestling locker room. He replied:
“CM Punk? Yeah, absolutely. I don’t think you can question the guy’s star power, his ability to get eyes on a product or a company. I saw Bully Ray recently say the exact same thing.”
“You can say whatever you want [about him], but I wasn’t in those locker rooms seeing what had happened or transpired or the drama of everything that unfortunately occurred since his return, but I know who I am as a professional and an individual in this company and I think I would work synergistically with a guy like CM Punk.”
“Of course, we’re both Bret Hart fans, so that might help. But I would love the opportunity to get in the ring with him, have a program with him in IMPACT Wrestling or anywhere else.”
As previously reported, fans believe that WWE has been teasing a potential return for CM Punk on the most recent episode of Monday Night Raw.
Meanwhile, Josh Alexander is set to challenge Alex Shelley for the IMPACT World Championship at IMPACT Bound For Glory on October 21.
Before this main event showdown, Alexander is set to appear on the October 5 episode of IMPACT on AXS TV.
