Booker T Comments on CM Punk Potentially Joining Impact/TNA Wrestling

CM Punk is a free agent and there’s been tons of online speculation on what his next move in pro wrestling might be. Ace Steele is reportedly working backstage for Impact Wrestling and Punk was said to be backstage at Bound For Glory. Nothing is confirmed, but many on social media are speculating that Punk could be part of the company when they rebrand back to TNA in January.

On the “Hall of Fame” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T gave his thoughts on if CM Punk going to TNA would work:

“I look at it like this. If CM Punk was to go to IMPACT Wrestling and be a part of that crew down there, I think it’s definitely something that could work. I really do. I think it’s a lot of young guys just like in AEW that could learn and maybe look towards CM Punk for some guidance or whatever.

“Booker continued, “I don’t know how well that’s gonna work out or anything like that, but that’s the way I see that, but the one thing I also think about with CM Punk going to IMPACT wrestling, unlike AEW, unlike WWE, his wrestling is going to be more spotlighted because it’s smaller crowds. Everything is going to be seen. You’re not going to be able to hide anything in an arena like that. One thing about getting older, you’re going to lose a step. That’s just the way it is and I just think it would be so much more noticeable. You would be looking at CM Punk’s work so much more than anything else outside of anything that he would be doing it TNA. I’m talking about promos. I’m talking about angles. You’re gonna be looking at his work more than anything, I would think, and I think that’s a position I wouldn’t want to put myself in.”
