CM Punk has been out of action since AEW All Out 2022 and the resulting brawl. However, he also tore his triceps in the main event of the PPV when he defeated Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title.
Punk would shortly after have to vacate the championship, which was then won once again by Jon Moxley.
While speaking to ESPN, Punk detailed his recovery from a torn triceps.
“I think, in wrestling, we always kind of joke how we always get hurt doing the dumb stuff,” Punk said. “Fall off a 15-foot ladder through a table and you’re fine and you’re running 6 miles the next day and you’re in the gym. And then it’s just always the dumb little things, like some routine thing that I’ve done a thousand times in my career, and it injures you. And then just the mental aspect of this recovery, it has not been easy. Luckily, I’ve got a really good support system, my wife [April Mendez, a three-time WWE divas champion under the moniker AJ Lee] and [dog] Larry, and I’ve got great friends and a super great rehab team that was able to get me back this quickly even though it doesn’t feel — it feels like it was 12 years ago.”
