CM Punk: I Don’t Think Retirement Is Going To Be Anytime Soon

CM Punk is the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion and set to defend the title against Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 42.

At the age of 47, Punk is likely closer to the end of his career than the beginning, but he isn’t ready to hang up the boots just yet.

Speaking to TJ Henderson and O’Shay Jackson Jr on No Contest, Punk was asked if he’s had thoughts of doing a retirement tour similar to John Cena.

“I really don’t know. It’s big in Japanese wrestling, the retirement tour. They’ve done that over there for many, many years. It was just new to Western wrestling fans. Cena did it, and I thought it was brilliant. Saying, ‘This is the last time you’re going to get to come see me. You get to see me wrestle or appear.’ With me, I really don’t know. I almost don’t like talking about it because I don’t think it’s going to be anytime soon. The way our business is, I like to keep some things shrouded in secrecy and mystery. We’ll have to wait and see. I’m trying to keep myself in one piece because I think I’m on the run of my life and doing the best work I’ve ever done. Why would I want to step away now?” Punk wondered.

Elsewhere during the interview, Punk commented on night one vs. night two of WrestleMania. Fans can read his comments here.
