Moose Comments on TNA Had Plans for CM Punk to Feud with Him Over TNA World Title

Moose recently announced on Twitter that TNA Wrestling officials had plans at one point to bring in CM Punk and have Punk feud with him for the TNA World Championship but these plans were eventually dropped.

Moose did not clarify if this potential feud was planned to take place during his first TNA World title reign that took place from October of 2021 to April of 2022 or his second title reign from January of 2024 to July of 2024.

“So while I was World Champ there were plans of Punk coming to TNA and us Fueding. Punk vs Lesnar from SS2013 is one of my favorites 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.”

As noted before, former TNA Wrestling President Scott D’Amore’s contract was terminated by Anthem Entertainment in February of 2024. In a recent interview with the Wrestling Observer Radio, D’Amore confirmed that he was paid by TNA for a full year following his firing from the company. D’Amore stated ” I wanted to stay there, I wanted to see it through. I felt we could get TNA where it needed to be and ultimately, Len Asper decided that that wasn’t the path he wanted to take so, I took a year’s pay and took the shot on the chin at getting fired. Really more so the shot in the gut because I mean, I put so much energy into it. It hurt but, looking back now, a year-plus later… I still would have liked to stayed there and seen it through but there’s so many blessings that I look at. I took my mother to Italy to show her all over the country from top to bottom and it’s so many things that I’m able to do and working on M.L.P. and getting ready to relaunch the Can-Am Wrestling dojo in a bigger way. All these things, these are things that I didn’t have time to do when I was running TNA so, you know, my emotions at the time, first, I was pissed and two, I was mind-blown. So, but, the end of the day, business is business and it’s not my company. I didn’t own it so any time that you don’t own it, then you don’t have the final say.” (Transcript h/t: PostWrestling.com)
