During a recent interview with CinemaBlend, WWE Superstar and World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk opened up about several topics, One of the topics discussed included Punk’s thoughts about the future of his wrestling career and him potentially retiring when he reaches 50 years old.
“When I was 15, if you asked me if I’d be wrestling when I was 40, I would tell you ‘No, that’s crazy. 40 is so old.’ I’m 47, and I don’t feel old yet. Terry Funk wrestled for a long time, Ric Flair wrestled for a long time. I mean, there’s luchadors that are like in their 70s that are still doing it. Do I want to be doing that? Probably not. I would estimate probably the big 50 is when I should maybe gracefully bow out. Knock on wood, if nothing else horrible happens.”
Punk kicked off 2026 with a successful defense of his World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker on the first Raw of the year. He is now set to defend his title against Finn Balor next week in Belfast, Ireland.
