Whenever CM Punk does an interview, he is asked about a possible return to pro wrestling as the fans still want to see the former WWE Champion perform inside of the squared circle.
That was no different when he sat down with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated. He was asked about the possibility of him returning to wrestling.
Punk started out by stating that he has said no before in interviews because he’s not fishing for a deal and he gets offered to do a lot of stuff, but he says no to it 90% of the time because he wants to work with quality human beings. He wonders whether pro wrestling has a lack of quality human beings.
Punk said that if there is a fun and quality wrestling project that gets sent way then he will listen to it.
“I don’t need the money. And the way the wrestling business is now, it’s wacky. You’ve got WWE, who has multiple billion-dollar television deals, and the television’s awful. I go back there, I’m just another guy.
“And it’s not even that—I’d be just another guy that’s doing not-good television. I want to do stuff that’s good. I want my name attached to quality projects, where it’s fun and it makes people laugh, smile, think and people don’t hate watching it. I want to do fun stuff.”
Punk hasn’t wrestled since 2014 and instead, shifted his focus towards acting as well as fighting twice in the UFC.
