Josh Alexander: CM Punk Would Be Welcomed In IMPACT Wrestling, You Can’t Question His Star Power
Josh Alexander comments on the idea of CM Punk joining IMPACT Wrestling.
Punk is currently floating around the world of wrestling without a home, as he was fired from All Elite Wrestling on Saturday, September 2. Punk’s firing came after he was reportedly involved in a backstage altercation with Jack Perry at the All In pay-per-view, which took place only a week before.
Many fans have began to speculate on Punk’s future in wrestling, with some wanting him to continue his career in WWE, IMPACT Wrestling, or New Japan Pro Wrestling.
In a new interview with WhatCulture, IMPACT’s Josh Alexander was asked if Punk would be welcomed into an IMPACT Wrestling locker room.
“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.”
Fightful will update fans when more information is known about Punk’s future in the industry.
