CM Punk was a guest on today’s edition of “The Pat McAfee Show” to comment a variety of topics, including whether his wife AJ Lee may appear at the 2025 Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On speculation of AJ Lee appearing in the Rumble: “There are no clues. There are no clues. She’s at home watching Larry.”
On potentially writing a book: “I’m going to write a book someday. I don’t know when. I’m just going to tell the story. In 93, I started rolling around in backyards with my friends.”
On if he wrestled on trampolines during the backyard days: “No, we weren’t that smart. We also weren’t that rich. We had no trampoline. We just used the ground, and one year, we borrowed some materials from various construction sites in and around the Chicagoland area and built a ring. In 97, I think we bought a wrestling ring. Bought an old wrestling ring from some guy in Texas and started running shows. We were very outlaw. Around 98-99, there was a wrestling school. ‘Oh, you actually have to learn how to do this? Interesting.’ It was shocking to me. It’s not like there is a pro wrestling program in school. There is football, there is wrestling and all kinds of sports. The rest is history. They beat the crap out of me for being a backyard kid, and I earned my stripes.”
