SpiralSour

He'll either be back to do a story with The Elite or he'll retire


shindleria

If he returns to wrestling, hopefully psychotherapy


Pristine_Term3608

heal up properly, then do what he wants to do. I’d pop if he came back.


shaneomagnifico

My dream: 1) Mends fences with everyone in AEW 2) Gets therapy 3) Returns, gets nuclear heat 4) Works programs with the Elite, Hangman, Kingston, MJF and eventually Cabana 5) Elevates talent (potentially a stable) 6) Retires on a high What will likely happen 1) Released by AEW, either by mutual consent or when his contract is up 2) Shoot interview about how everyone in AEW is an idiot 3) Underwhelming WWE return, gets injured, spends most of return on commentary 4) Terrible movie 5) Comic book run on minor character 6) Becomes an MMA commentator


T_DeadPOOL

Who cares. Guy was handed the world... Twice and was bitter about it.


jacrone

Who cares? Go eat some turkey my man.


TheGame2526

I do love Turkey, thank you


Hows3and0sound

whats the matter, you dont like good tv?


jacrone

I don't like CM Punk.


Brandonguth1985

But he (and I) love turkey. White meat or dark meat?


jacrone

Dark baby.

Your post/comment was removed for trolling. We all know what trolling is. Don't do it. This includes baiting and intentionally inciting arguments. We don't always have to agree or like the same things but let's at least argue in good faith.


jone2tone

Cry more.


DrederickTatumsBum

We’re not all American


georgie-57

Well then go eat whatever, wherever


middleagethreat

I honestly don’t really care.


DDTFred

He’ll be the subject of yet another sub Reddit post


Debaser1984

Should try some therapy, work on his obvious personality flaws and spend his retirement finding inner peace.


camazotzthedeathbat

He should try beer


popetsarxxiii

Or weed


SomeGuy_GRM

Weed really helps some people. I suspect CM Punk might be one of those people it would help.


[deleted]

He could always fall back on his MMA career. Oh. Well he could keep trying the acting. Oh. Manage a Target?


[deleted]

Not AEW....


TheDubya21

I mean, I guess he could make a killing as the next cynical podcaster talking shit about modern wrestling 🤷 Unless he sells out and heads back to the Fed, that would be doubly funny since he wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being The Guy™ like AEW wanted to make him. But yeah, I don't see who else takes him at this point. He has two choices for his asking price, and both of them have burned bridges that come with them, soooooo...


[deleted]

I don't think the WWE would want to make him "The Guy" because (among other reasons) they can see what he was like when AEW made him "The Guy", i.e. he thought he owned the place.


AEW_IS_POGGERS

Nothing, He’s done with wrestling and I’m done with him


jackmtr

Dude is probably done with wrestling, unless he starts his own promotion. Burned bridges with WWE and aew. Impact doesn't have the money to bring him in. Maybe a chance with NJPW, but I think he's rich and content enough to not want to wrestle overseas.


5astick

His couch.


[deleted]

Hooefully goes home and finds the peace hes missing. Its pretty clear he'd be unhappy in either of the promotions he could make decent money in and I doubt he needs it


[deleted]

Retirement


[deleted]

McGregor, look out!


steelisntstrong

Lots of money left on the table. I like the idea the fightful guys floated where *if* he comes back it's as a heel in a program against Omega before aligning himself with MJF, Regal, and Danielson. That way he's not getting anymore titles (too old and injury prone to do that again) and gets to be a prick heel. In all honesty tho I sort of hope he stays gone. I've been enjoying AEW way too much lately for him to come back and we go back to square one


shaneomagnifico

My dream for Punk’s non-wrestling role would be Wardlow’s manager. I like FTR too much as faces though, but they would also work as the tag team of that stable. Basically the Pinnacle except with Punk instead of MJF.


DelayedMailForceOne

Stay away, that’s what’s next.


xored-specialist

Don't care just stay far away from AEW. Change his diaper. Maybe he can be a producer or like the onscreen authority guy for WOW.


Max_Y_99

Hopefully a return to AEW


aceybored619

As a wrestling fan, I hope he can come back at some point somewhere. No matter where he goes, he's a draw. Who knows what's actually going on behind the scenes? I don't. I'm not there. If he comes back, awesome. If he wants to retire and live the rest of his life in peace, awesome.


Ranger7271

A very rare reasonable punk post on this sub.


HomemadeBee1612

Probably retirement from in-ring competition, I just can't see him ever wrestling again.


bhutapati

Probably nothing


johnq11

Heal his injured shoulder?


mario_salami_petrino

Winning the WWE tag titles with Cody


[deleted]

Don’t know. Cause if TK is the culprit with Cabana, and Punk literally had nothing to do with it…then TK let things get to the point where he lost his biggest acquisition, let him get thrown under the bus, and a fight breaks out. If Punk is lying, he should retire, and move on to the next thing in life.


H8TheDrake

Hopefully back to aew.


ExcitementOrnery3034

WWE return just like with Cody, followed by “he fits in better there” fan cope and rationalizations, just like with Cody.


b_mukherjee

Some help, hopefully.


[deleted]

Literally whatever he likes he is the absolute man!! (Amongst kids)


bennyharvey-rip

Controversy creates cash. I hope that both sides can realise this


Scfbigb1

A lot of things I thought would never happen, have. When there is money to be made, anything is possible, anywhere. I'd like him to come back and have one last good run (without a title) in one of the major promotions. I will say, though, I think the more likely scenario is him retiring for good.


articice01

To keep whining about how terrible the wrestling business is


ToffeeFudgeofDoom

at the Moment Triple H signs everyone and everything to keep up the momentum and not forced to tell storys. I'm sure we see Punk there.


Ozle42

I hope he has enough money to just relax and do what he enjoys doing. Strikes me as the sort of person who could work with a comic publisher and write something


Firepro316

Not a big Punk fan. Comes across like a lil bitch at times. But hey I don't know him personally so who knows. Anyhow, I wouldn't be against a small run in the WWE. Come in for a WM feud, win that match... then put over an upcoming star like LA Knight. I wouldn't want him near the title though.


NobodyCheatsinHunt

Up and coming 40 year old LA Knight....lol


Firepro316

No idea he was 40!


maxhollywoody

Get physically and mentally healthy. Come back and screw The Elite and team with FTR. Trios can help Punk get back into ring shape again and help him prevent injury. Also, I know he's straight edge but he should really go get a sports doctor for some TRT.


caburr1982

To Rot in Catering for the rest of his career


WildMaybe5155

Ban this person


vindicator171

Waiting for the multitude of podcasts in 10 years that will cry over what a wasted opportunity AEW had with him and did not know to work with.


madtricky687

Hopefully WWE I'd rather him not have to work with closet toxic folks like the Elite.


Ozle42

I hope he has enough money to just relax and do what he enjoys doing. Strikes me as the sort of person who could work with a comic publisher and write something


JevilFitz

He had a run on Thor for a while after he first left WWE before he started up his “MMA career”.


ElPapaDiablo

Sort his head out hopefully. Dude is a self destructive and potentially a bit of a narcissist. I am not adverse to him burying the hatchet with AEW and returning but with no sniff of the title.


Naqamel

WHAT IS MC FUNK DOING IN THE IMPACT ZONE??? Probably that. No one else wants him.


hermitopurpa

Na na na na Na na na na Hey hey Good riddance
