CM Punk has been pretty clear on his return to pro wrestling. If it’s going to happen, it’s got to be the right situation. He wants something where the money is right and the creative factor is there, not to mention the talent he would get to work with.
Maybe he seems adverse to it because the WWE seems to be where many fans would like to see him. He was asked again by Sports Illustrated about a potential return where he opened up a little more and said he doesn’t want to be just another guy, he wants to do quality projects in the world of pro wrestling.
I’ve said no before in interviews. I’m not fishing for a deal. I get offered to do a lot of stuff, and I say no to 90% of it just because my thing is I need to work with quality human beings. It just seems like maybe in pro wrestling there is a lack of quality human beings. I don’t know. I like doing fun, quality projects. If there is a fun, quality wrestling project that gets sent my way, I will listen to it.”
“I don’t need the money. And the way the wrestling business is now, it’s wacky. You’ve got WWE, who has multiple billion-dollar television deals, and the television’s awful. I go back there, I’m just another guy. And it’s not even that—I’d be just another guy that’s doing not-good television. I want to do stuff that’s good. I want my name attached to quality projects, where it’s fun and it makes people laugh, smile, think and people don’t hate watching it. I want to do fun stuff.”
Punk has been pretty clear about not being open to certain things, but he did give a rather interesting answer in another interview about answering Will Ospreay’s challenge.
