Former WWE Champion CM Punk appeared on The Kevin & Bean Show this morning in Los Angeles.
He was asked about possibly appearing on WWE’s SmackDown FOX premiere, which he responded, “When is SmackDown, is that tonight?”
Punk was also asked about recently trying out for the WWE Backstage studio show on FS1.
“You mean to tell me you’d watch a show where I talk about wrestling? I think people have… it’s taken on a life of its own,” Punk said of the rumors on a possible WWE return and a role on the FS1 show.”
Punk brought up how The Rock called him at the last WWE show that was held at the Staples Center.
“I enjoy The Rock, I do,” Punk said of The Rock and his return on Friday. “And I’m not trying to put this out… gee, hopefully people don’t do this, but do you remember the last time The Rock was in the Staples Center?” He continued, “Let’s do it again. When is this show, next Friday? Dwayne, call me Friday,” Punk joked.
Punk responded to that fantasy booking idea with, “100% better than anything on their shows since I left.”
Punk stated that he doesn’t think about wrestling and hasn’t since he left WWE.
“If nothing happens, please don’t be mad at me,” Punk said in response to a comment about how fans are waiting for the return to happen soon.
When asked about his future, he talked about wanting to do more acting and also commented on a potential autobiography.
“It’s a possibility. After I shed these frivolous lawsuits and come out victorious in both, I realized I do have a lot of stories that are fairly ridiculous, that I think the public should probably read.”
When pressed about what he’s doing this Friday, he said, “What’s the date? Probably watching hockey, I’m super excited about that.”
Punk asked the hosts to pretend that they were the owners of a billion dollar wrestling company and said, “If you want me to work for you, why is it my responsibility to move that forward? Shouldn’t you be contacting me and doing something?”
Punk stated he does not miss pro wrestling when asked by one of the hosts.
“I don’t miss wrestling, no. I guess maybe if I missed anything it would be performing, because there very much is a rush to your music hitting and going out, to be able to read a crowd and give them what you think they want, and not necessarily give the crowd what they want because as a performer, you almost have to be objective. … I always appreciated and enjoyed [telling a story],” he said.
