CM Punk reveals timeline for WWE in-ring return from injury & trash talking The Rock

CM Punk made his in-ring return at WWE Royal Rumble and delivered a tough fight, however he injured his tricep during the match before being thrown out by Cody Rhodes. Punk was soon removed from the WrestleMania plans following his injury.

He was on the commentary desk during the WrestleMania 40 Kick-off show, where had a lot of fun. Following that CM Punk recently appeared for an interview with TNT Sports during his presence at UFC 298, where CM Punk spoke about a lot of things about his WrestleMania dreams, his injury, Rock’s return and talking trash with the microphone.

CM Punk about his injury

“You know, fingers crossed, yeah, I was going to headline WrestleMania. Obviously, now I’m not. But, you know, it’s sports. It’s what happens to athletes. Mentally, I think it’s harder because the physical pain is whatever. But I look at it just like a bump in the road. This is an occupational hazard. It happens and I’ll be back bigger and better.”

“I’m a clumsy idiot. I tore my left triceps about two years ago, so the right one was jealous. I’m like an old cobbler. car. I’m like a 72 Nova, you know what I mean? We have to change some parts every now and again. So once we fix up all the parts, the engine’s still strong, we’ll still be good to go.”

“We’re thinking maybe six to eight months, but I’m not really in a rush to get back to compete. I’m in a rush to get healthy. I’m in a rush to get better. The sooner I do that, the better I’ll be when I come back.”

CM Punk on The Rock’s return

“I think it’s fantastic. Ten years ago, I was the guy that was wrestling The Rock when he came back, and now ten years later, he’s coming back, and I think the landscape has completely changed, right? WrestleMania is two nights now. It’s even bigger. Him coming back only helps. I always say high tide raises all ships. 

“So I’m just happy that even though I’m hurt, I’m still gonna kinda be in the mix. My mouth still works, so I’m gonna still be able to talk some trash. I don’t know if you saw the kickoff we did in Vegas with Rock and Roman and Seth and Cody. It was a lot of fun and I hope to just continue to do that while I’m recuperating because I can always just talk trash with the best of them. It’s the best part. It’s what I do.”

It seems like we could see a lot of Punk’s involvement on the road to WrestleMania on the commentary desk or with the microphone segments.
