CM Punk Wants To Wrestle At Wrigley Field, Says The Stadium Is ‘Chomping At The Bit’ For A WWE Show
CM Punk wants to wrestle at Wrigley Field.
Throughout his entire career, Punk has wrestled in historic Chicago venues like the United Center, Wintrust Arena, and the Allstate Arena. During his days on the independent scene, Punk even wrestled in the city’s smaller venues like the Frontier Fieldhouse.
Appearing on the latest episode of Mostly Sports, CM Punk told Brandon Walker and Mark Titus that he wants to wrestle at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Punk also revealed that the venue wants to host a WWE show, but often runs into trouble due to the baseball schedule.
“Wrigley Field. Wrestle at Wrigley Field. I’m putting that one out into the universe right now. The executives at Wrigley are chomping at the bit, they want a WWE show. The problem with it, and I’ll throw Major League Baseball under the bus, is that they won’t release the schedule until they want to so we can’t get a jumpstart and look at dates and stuff like that. Yes, Wrigley hosts concerts in the summertime, but they won’t give us a big enough head start to figure out dates. That’s why I was kinda rooting for the Dodgers to win the World Series to solidify a lockout in 2027. I’m 100% selfish, if there’s no baseball in 2027, it means I’m selling out Wrigley Field. I’ve sold out every place in Chicago with a roof so I’ve gotta go to these outdoor places. Wrigley to me is church, it’s got a little bit of wrestling history, there was some matches there. I’m looking forward to that, that’s what I have to conquer in Chicago.”
After appearing on Mostly Sports, Punk sat down with The Yak and trashed Giants fans for their criticism of Cam Skattebo after his WWE Raw appearance. Check out his full comments here.
