CM Punk Says He Wants ‘Complete Chaos’ in the Ring, Not Over-Planned Matches

CM Punk isn’t interested in scripting every detail of a wrestling match—he prefers to let the moment guide him.

While appearing on My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox, Punk explained that he thrives when things are spontaneous and unstructured in the ring.

“I want complete chaos if I’m wrestling you,” Punk said. “I would rather not see you all day … when I’m in the ring, I’m not an actor. I’m a reactor. I’m reacting to you. I’m reacting to the referee and I’m reacting to the people. And too often times I feel like we get in our own, I’m stepping on my own dick here when you know we’re mapping all this stuff out.”

For Punk, overly rehearsed matches actually increase his anxiety. He admitted that too much planning takes him out of his element.

“It makes me more nervous like the more I talk about it and the more planned out things are. I need stuff to be a little bit loose and a little bit Helter Skelter and then I’m in the pocket.”

The straight-edge superstar is gearing up for a massive showdown against Gunther at WWE SummerSlam, where he’ll challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship. Judging by his mindset, don’t expect a tightly choreographed performance—expect a war.
