Ever since his return to WWE, CM Punk has been involved within the most important event scene, and lots of fans were sure it was only a matter of time before he not only headlined WrestleMania, but additionally captured one other world championship. This 12 months, each things happened, and while Punk needed to claw his way back up to really enjoy a reign with the World Heavyweight Championship, the veteran still doesn’t see the title as something he was owed. During an interview on “WGN News,” Punk described the sensation of being back in WWE as tremendous, and added that he’s having the time of his life.
“I feel you may see it, you realize? This [pointing to the World Heavyweight Championship] is an unexpected treat, and you realize I’m like obviously I’m older and more mature, and I feel like I get it now,” he explained, noting that the load of being a world champion in WWE is not as heavy because it was before, but now he understands that it’s all an element of the job. “I do know that someday that is all going to be over, so I’m really just having fun with it.”
Punk has been very appreciative towards WWE since his return, and in one other interview, he also looked back at his Survivor Series 2023 return and claimed that every single day since has been a dream. Moreover, he compared his wrestling profession to hockey, and expressed how pleased he’s to only get to ‘lace up his skates’ again and see all of the fans and places around the globe.
