CM Punk’s days in the ring are seemingly over, at least according to those close to the former World Champion.
Punk hasn’t competed since being suspended from AEW following his actions after the All Out 2022 pay-per-view event.
It has been reported that AEW are seeking to buy out Punk’s contract and release him.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Nick Hausman said he’s heard from Punk’s friends, and they doubt he’ll be back in the ring.
“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’.”
Neither Punk nor AEW President Tony Khan have commented publicly on the matter at this time.
