CM Punk’s AEW contract was terminated last month and now wrestling fans are wondering what the future holds for Punk. It’s believed that the door is open for CM Punk to join Impact Wrestling, and now it seems that there may be another option on the table.
Billy Corgan was recently asked about NWA’s interest in bringing in CM Punk during an appearance on the Mat Men podcast and he indicated that he would be interested in working with Punk while also stating that he has not reached out to the former WWE Champion.
“What I would say to Phil, and I’m not trying to use this as an open forum, I’m saying to you what I would say to Phil, and again, I have not reached out and I certainly know how to get in touch with him. What I could say to him is, he would have a lot of fun in the NWA. I think Phil, the person, loves professional wrestling. He’s had his public confrontation….I’m very similar, I got sued by a record company for $150 million. I eventually made a deal with them and continued working for them. I’ve had massive battles behind the scenes with every segment of the record and touring business, some of which aren’t public. I have a reputation in rock n roll, behind the scenes. If Phil, the person has a rep with whoever, he doesn’t have that rep with me because I feel I understand where he’s coming from.”
“That man loves professional wrestling. He may not love the professional wrestling business, but he loves professional wrestling. My only appeal to Punk would be, if you want to have some fun, I can’t pay you what you’re worth, but if you want to have some fun, come have some fun in the NWA. We’ll kick some ass, we’ll have some laughs, and I’ll buy you a vegan sandwich.”
