It looks like CM Punk may permanently step away from the wrestling industry.
While still under contract with AEW, he is still recovering from his injury. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Nick Hausman stated that he heard CM Punk’s close friends doubting that Punk will ever wrestle again.
“Cash does not seem to be an issue for this guy. He’s got in-roads in Hollywood going on right now. Stephen Amell certainly shining him up with what they’re trying to do over on Heels right now. I have a lot of people that have known Punk that say to me ‘This guy’s never gonna wrestle again’.”

CM Punk was involved in a backstage brawl where he fought with The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega. As previously reported, AEW suspended all involved in the brawl, including Ace Steel who ended up being fired, while The Elite will be returning to AEW television very soon.
