NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion EC3 has expressed his desire to see CM Punk join the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) following Punk’s departure from All Elite Wrestling (AEW). In an interview on Sportskeeda’s UnSKripted show, EC3 discussed various topics and publicly called for Punk to consider joining the promotion.
AEW announced last Saturday that Punk’s employee and wrestler contracts had been terminated with cause. This news has sparked speculation about Punk’s future in professional wrestling, and EC3 believes that the NWA would be a perfect fit for the former WWE Superstar.
“To have him (CM Punk) come in would be a game changer, and I think our locker room has a more professional atmosphere sometimes,” EC3 said. “So, I don’t think the shenanigans (and) tomfooleries of the intertwining’s 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 Worlds Heavyweight Champion.”
EC3’s comments have caught the attention of wrestling fans and industry insiders. Many are intrigued by the possibility of Punk joining the NWA and what it could mean for the promotion’s future. While nothing has been confirmed at this time, EC3’s endorsement adds fuel to the speculation.
CM Punk is no stranger to making headlines in the wrestling world. His departure from WWE in 2014 created a buzz among fans, and his subsequent hiatus from the industry only fueled the anticipation for his return. When Punk signed with AEW earlier this year, it was seen as a major coup for the promotion.
However, Punk’s time in AEW was short-lived, and his departure has left fans wondering what’s next for the enigmatic superstar. The NWA, known for its rich history and emphasis on traditional wrestling, could provide a unique platform for Punk to showcase his skills and engage with a passionate fanbase.
EC3’s endorsement of Punk joining the NWA speaks to the potential impact it could have on both the promotion and the wrestling landscape as a whole. With EC3 currently holding the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, the addition of Punk would undoubtedly create a marquee matchup and generate significant buzz.
While fans eagerly await news of Punk’s next move, it’s clear that the wrestling world is abuzz with speculation and excitement. The NWA, under the leadership of President Billy Corgan, has been making strides in recent years to reestablish itself as a major player in the industry. The addition of CM Punk would undoubtedly be a significant step in that direction.
