CM Punk’s acrimonious departure from WWE essentially killed his love for pro-wrestling, leading him to seven years away from the squared circle.
AEW letting CM Punk pursue other interests had a big part in helping him make his decision to join the company, he told WGN News. He called AEW a fun and exciting place and appreciated the backstage people involved with the company.
CM Punk is involved in multiple projects alongside AEW
During his promo on his debut at AEW Rampage, CM Punk said that his love for professional wrestling died in 2005 but was revived in 2021.
Since his retirement in 2013, CM Punk has ventured into multiple things like MMA and acting. His brief stint in the UFC didn’t pan out as planned, as he lost both his fights decisively.
His acting career is ongoing as he plays the role of Ricky Rabies in the show Heels, a show centered around a wrestling promotion in Georgia. You can watch him talk to Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Kevin Kellam about the show here.
CM Punk is back, he looks happy and fans can’t wait for what lies ahead.
