CM Punk Trying To “Fully Absolve” Himself From Pro Wrestling, Open To Serious Offer From ‘All Elite Wrestling’ Group

CM Punk talked with MMAFighting.com recently. In the interview, he talked about his new commentary role with Cage Fury Fighting Championships. The former-WWE Champion was not shy about talking pro wrestling with Marc Raimondi, who asked him about the possibility of him working in Cody & The Young Bucks’ new promotion All Elite Wrestling. CM Punk said that he will always listen to The Bucks, but will likely not be involved in wrestling in the future.

“There’s a couple more loose ends that I’m still trying to tie up to fully absolve me from the world of pro wrestling. I feel like I’ve still been attached to it since the day that I left it and that’s mostly because of fugazi lawyers and such. But we’re wrapping all that up and that’ll come to an end. And once I’m truly free, we can explore the world and just float and hang out. And I can walk my dog and drink coffee and do commentary for Dave Sholler and continue to train at Roufusport. And do all kinds of stuff. I’ve earned it, I’ve paid my dues.”

Punk also addressed the rumors that he was offered a spot at September’s All In event:

I know Cody was out there in the media saying that an offer was made [for the All In event Sept. 1]. An offer was not made. Calling me up or texting me saying, ‘Hey, if you want to come to the show and do something, we would love that’ is not an offer. That’s not an offer.

CM Punk was also not shy about his feelings about his former employer, WWE:

“And I think we live in a time now where WWE is not the end-all, be-all. I don’t think it has been for quite some time. I think the stigma that it is is still there and probably will persist for many, many years. But enough people have been there and left that can, I guess, extoll the knowledge of, ‘Hey, you know what, the place ain’t all that.’”

And I’m in a spot now where I’ve been gone what, five years? Maybe the place has changed. I’ve got people who text me and say otherwise, but there’s ways to make money and support your family outside of that. With also being able to satisfy the side of your brain that’s creative, the side of your brain that loves professional wrestling, the reason you bought a pair of boots in the first place. And I think those guys can definitely do that. I think they can command their price if they want there. But if they did go there, then they’d just be another guy — just like everybody else on that show. It’s amazing, the more time the show gets, the less time it really seems they develop new characters.
