Scott D'Amore confirms that he tried to sign CM Punk to TNA Wrestling.
In 2023, after he departed AEW, some believed that CM Punk could appear at TNA Bound for Glory, which took place in Chicago that year. Of course, he returned to WWE at that Year's WWE Survivor Series, and the rest is history. However, Punk did attend TNA tapings following the event.
In his D'Amore Drop column on Yahoo! Sports' Uncrowned, former TNA president Scott D'Amore reflected on his negotiations with CM Punk, praising him for his professionalism and wishing him well in the future.
"It wasn’t a well-kept secret that I tried to sign Phil to TNA after things with AEW fell apart. I knew it was a long shot, I knew I was asking him to work in smaller arenas than he had in a long time," said D'Amore. "He listened; he was interested. He never big-timed TNA once, and he conducted himself the way we’d all wish a professional would. Ultimately, he went back to WWE, which, of course, is where he belongs."
