CM Punk didn’t hold back when a fan dared to ask about the end of his career.
During an appearance on GQ’s Actually Me series, the wrestling icon fired off one of the most brutally honest responses of the entire segment — and reminded everyone exactly who they’re dealing with. The exchange happened when Instagram user @nycwrestlingking posed a question most wrestlers dodge: “Gotta wonder when he’ll retire.”
Rather than deflect or sugarcoat, Punk went full throttle. He stared into the camera and delivered a fiery response that made it clear he’s still got plenty left in the tank.
“I’ll f*cking retire whenever I want to. There’s work to be done, okay? And you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone, so shut the f*ck up.”
CM Punk isn’t here to play nice or follow anyone’s timeline but his own. Whether it’s in the ring, on a mic, or clapping back at fans online, he makes it clear — he’ll leave when he’s damn good and ready. Until then, if you’ve got something to say about his retirement, he’s got just one message: shut the f**k up.
