Jim Ross has spoken about CM Punk’s future in Pro Wrestling on his podcast after Punk’s second loss in the UFC. His most recent loss was against Mike Jackson at UFC 225.
Regarding CM Punk, Jim Ross said:
“Hey, the guy lost a unanimous decision.
He went three rounds against Mike Jackson. I don’t know how much Jackson celebrated himself there. He didn’t impress Dana White, and it looks like? According to what White has said, this was likely CM Punk’s last UFC fight. I hope Dana’s right.
I hope that’s an accurate prediction.
Hey look, I love CM Punk’s willingness to try something new, boldly try something new, compete on an entirely different canvas. But let’s be honest – at his age and skillset, I hope that Phil Brooks will look elsewhere for a new challenge.”
I don’t see Punk ever, ever, being full time for any wrestling company again. See what I did there, a little Chris Jericho thing?
At this stage in life and his recent experiences in the pro wrestling biz, plus, he’s not in a cash-strapped situation.
He got nothing left to prove.
He doesn’t owe the wrestling fans anything.
He given it all to you.
What more do you want?
How many more years?
So he [has] got a lot of marketable skills, Phil Brooks. I think he’d be a great broadcaster in many areas. He [has] got a lot of interests. But CM Punk is, as Gordon Solie used to describe ‘Cowboy’ Bill Watts in Florida Championship Wrestling when Gordon would say, ‘that ‘Cowboy’ is a strange enigma that many simply do not understand. Uh-uh.”

Author’s Take
CM Punk broke down and cried in court (Dr.Chris Amaan Defamation Case – Punk won the case) because he had suffered a lot physically during his WWE run. It isn’t fair that we (the fans) ask CM Punk to come back to the wrestling for our sake.
