Former WWE Superstar CM Punk recently had a conversation with Raj Prashad of Uproxx on topics such as his “Jakob’s Wife” horror movie set to be released this coming Friday, April 16th in select theaters, on-demand, and digitally. Punk also talked about not having watched a pro wrestling television show in a while as most of the wrestling he keeps up on, or the things he knows about are strictly from social media.
Punk also said he would have to watch pro wrestling when he was working Backstage with FOX as to have an opinion on stuff, but since he hasn’t been doing that, he hasn’t been watching wrestling.
This is what CM Punk said:
“Most of the wrestling that I keep up on, or the things that I know about is strictly from social media.” “I haven’t watched a television show in a while. I would have to watch when I was working Backstage with Fox, to have an opinion on stuff. But since I haven’t been doing that, I haven’t been watching honestly.”
CM Punk then talked about a potential return to pro wrestling, but it is not for him to figure out as it is not his world anymore, though he is not closing the doors to a return as long as it’s under the right combination, right time, right place and right situation.
This is what CM Punk said:
“I think the right combination could maybe be figured out, but it’s also not for me to figure out. It’s not my world anymore.” “I’m certainly not Hulk Hogan, where I’m going to show up somewhere and like, ‘no, this is how it’s going to be.’”
“The wrestling world doesn’t necessarily need CM Punk and that’s absolutely fine. Everyone seems to be doing great. I don’t know, it’s like flavors of ice cream. I walk into an ice cream shop one time and I’m like, ‘Oh, that seems like a good flavor. Give me two scoops of that.’ It’s just gotta be the right time, right place, right situation.”
CM Punk then talked about who his biggest possible opponents would be in AEW and WWE. Punk said Kenny Omega would be his biggest possible opponent in AEW, while in WWE, his biggest possible opponent will be none other than Triple H.
This is what CM Punk said:
“From a creative mind standpoint, stepping back and looking at the landscape of everything, there are people in WWE that I have wrestled before that maybe, in a certain situation could be interesting.”“There’s also the business side of things. What’s the biggest possible match for CM Punk? I think there’s Kenny Omega on the one side.”
“And, you know, unfortunately, ironically enough, for me to go back to WWE, who’s the biggest match for me? It’s probably Triple H. That’s ironic because it’s nothing I’m interested in. It’s just what it is. Am I going to be a businessman and say that’s the match, that’s the big-money match? Well, it’s not my money, so it’s not for me to say.”
