CM Punk On Retirement: ‘Not Any Time Soon. Everybody Stop Asking Me, Stop Freaking Out’

CM Punk comments on approaching ‘the end’ of his career.
Wrestling fans have recently seen the retirements of John Cena and AJ Styles. More wrestlers will lace up their boots in the coming months and years. CM Punk is also nearing the final chapter of his in-ring run, but there’s still plenty of time before a retirement happens.
Speaking with SHAK Wrestling, CM Punk was asked about what it means to be on the cover of WWE 2K26 relative to WWE 2K13. In his response, Punk said he’s getting closer to retirement but quickly clarified that it’s not happening anytime soon.
“I think in Showcase with CM Punk, it encompasses my entire career. The beginning, the middle and we’re obviously creeping towards ‘the end’. Not any time soon. Everybody stop asking me, stop freaking out. But to me it just solidifies the consistency I’ve had over my career. As a top talent, as a huge draw, as somebody with great hair.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Punk commented on how he feels about headlining another WrestleMania. Fans can check his comments here.
