CM Punk Says MMA Training Helped Him Get Back Into Ring Shape

Posted By: Joe West on Sep 30, 2021

CM Punk was recently a guest on AEW Unrestricted, where he spoke about his AEW debut not technically being a secret, but still having an air of "what if?" surrounding it.

“I feel like we got the best of both worlds. I feel like it was maybe leaked or somebody found out, but there was still a giant question mark or a cloud of mystery over it.”

Punk stated that his MMA training helped him get back into wrestling shape.

“If you can breathe while a 300-pound man is on top of you trying to choke you, you can breathe running the ropes.”

As many fans may remember, Punk had a brief stint in UFC that was highly hyped up but didn't quite live up to expectations, as he lost both of his fights. Punk recently returned to professional wrestling for AEW, which led to him beating Darby Allin and Powerhouse Hobbs.
