CM Punk isn’t going anywhere—at least not anytime soon.
During his appearance on No-Contest Wrestling with O’Shea Jackson Jr. and TJ Jefferson, the World Heavyweight Champion was asked about how he might approach retirement. Would fans get a farewell tour like John Cena? Or would he vanish like AJ Styles says he might? Punk made it clear: he’s not thinking about retirement right now because he’s too locked in on what he’s doing in the ring.
“I really don’t know. I almost don’t like talking about it because I don’t think it’s going to be anytime soon.”
While he praised the Japanese tradition of farewell tours and even applauded Cena’s recent run, Punk immediately shut down any idea that he’s wrapping it up.
“I’m just trying to keep myself in one piece because I feel like I’m on the run of my life. I think I’m doing the best work I’ve ever done. Why would I want to step away from that now?”
He mentioned that his motivation hasn’t faded and that he’s still fully committed to delivering everything he’s got—every night.
“I always want to give 100% and leave it all in that ring… I don’t ever want to give less than 100%.”
At a time when so many legends are winding down their careers, Punk sounds like he’s just getting started.
Will CM Punk get his farewell moment when the time comes—or is he going to disappear on his own terms? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know what you’d want to see when Punk eventually calls it a career.
