CM Punk Expects to Be Out 6 to 8 Months – CM Punk provided an update on his wrestling career during an interview backstage at the UFC 298: Volkanovski vs. Topuria pay-per-view.
Despite the setback of not being able to headline WrestleMania as planned, Punk remains optimistic about his return to the squared circle. Reflecting on his injury, he likened himself to an aging car in need of occasional maintenance, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing his health and recovery.
“You know, fingers crossed, yeah, I was going to headline WrestleMania,” Punk said. “Obviously, now I’m not. But, you know, it’s sports. It’s what happens to athletes. Mentally, I think it’s harder because the physical pain is whatever. But I look at it just like a bump in the road. This is an occupational hazard. It happens and I’ll be back bigger and better. I’m a clumsy idiot. I tore my left triceps about two years ago, so the right one was jealous. I’m like an old cobbler. car. I’m like a 72 Nova, you know what I mean? We have to change some parts every now and again. So once we fix up all the parts, the engine’s still strong, we’ll still be good to go.”
He continued, “We’re thinking maybe six to eight months, but I’m not really in a rush to get back to compete. I’m in a rush to get healthy. I’m in a rush to get better. The sooner I do that, the better I’ll be when I come back.”
