“Would Be a Game Changer”: Ex-WWE Star Invites Recently Fired CM Punk Down to Prestigious Wrestling Promotion While Taking a Dig at Tony Khan

The wrestling world is still in a state of shock after the news of CM Punk being fired from AEW came out. While many supported the decision following the events of All In, there were a few in Punk’s favor. Punk saw support from fans and some wrestlers as well. And now a champion from another promotion wants CM Punk to join him for a fresh start.

There are also some rumors that Punk might join the WWE once again but we will just have to wait and watch to see what his next step will be.

EC3 wants CM Punk to join the NWA 

CM Punk and Jack Perry were suspended by AEW following their backstage altercation at All In in London. On Saturday, AEW put out a statement claiming that they are terminating all agreements with Punk. AEW CEO Tony Khan made it clear in that statement that he was responsible for Punk getting fired. As a result, he was booed by fans in Chicago right before the start of Collision on Saturday. Punk is yet to give out a statement after his firing but he continues to get support from fans and other wrestling stars.

One such star is EC3 who had a short stint with NXT and is now the NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion. He wants Punk to join NWA, one of the oldest pro wrestling promotions in the world. On his recent appearance on the podcast WrestleBinge he said, “To have him (CM Punk) come in would be a game changer, and I think our locker room has a more professional atmosphere sometimes.”

He further added, “So, I don’t think the shenanigans tomfooleries of the intertwining and dramatics would take place as much as people striving to be the best versions of themselves. And the best version of anybody is EC3 as the World’s Heavyweight Champion.”

But as Punk continues to get some support from the wrestling world, new details have emerged on what exactly happened backstage that night.
