TNA Reportedly Tried to Sign CM Punk to Huge Money Deal

– While CM Punk is out of the wrestling industry by all accounts, that hasn’t stopped people from trying to bring him in. According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, TNA offered CM Punk a huge money deal to come into the promotion, with an offered salary that is said to have been similar to what Hulk Hogan was making for the company. The deal would have also made Punk the top star in TNA on Hogan’s level during his tenure there.

The site reports that the deal was attempted via an intermediary who is friends with Punk, similar to how they tried to bring in Alberto Del Rio. However, Punk turned them down and expressed absolutely no interest in returning to wrestling in general.

Pwinsider.com reports that according to TNA sources, there is no truth to the story. “No offer was made, officially or via an intermediary – no truth to that rumor”.

They also report that friends of Punk “scoffed” at the idea Punk would ever want to return to wrestling, much less for TNA.
