Booker T added that Impact Wrestling, which will be rebranded as TNA next year, would be the perfect spot for CM Punk as it will give him an opportunity to show if he has the star power to move the needle for the promotion.

“TNA would be the spot,” reiterated Booker T. “If he’s gonna land somewhere, TNA would be the spot because I really feel like TNA could use the rub, people’s eyes will be on TNA. It would show … you would actually get a chance to see CM Punk’s star power if the needle moves for TNA. If TNA can get back in this race — ’cause right now they running third [behind WWE and AEW] — imagine if TNA numbers could start competing with AEW. Oh, man, then people gonna be saying, ‘Did Tony Khan make a mistake?'”

Booker also added that Punk signing with TNA would be good for pro wrestling, as it would provide another promotion competing with WWE and AEW.

“I think it would create a buzz, as far as this war, this war is expanding. I think TNA was in that war for a long time,” said Booker T. “People looked at TNA as being that second company for a long time. If they could they can get back to that point, I think it would be good for the business, more than anything.”
