I saw John, passed him in the hallway; he looked a little tired, looked like he needed to go to sleep. I’m sure I’ll see him in Indianapolis.

CM Punk wants to give back to the wrestling world once his WWE career is done
CM Punk is undeniably one of the most controversial figures in professional wrestling, having been a cornerstone of the industry for many years. Despite being away from WWE for over a decade, Punk plans to conclude his career with the Stamford-based promotion. Recently, The Best in the World opened up about his wrestling endgame, sharing his thoughts on what comes next after he retires from competition.
Speaking on Night Cap, The Second City Saint shared his philosophy on life, stating that there are three chapters in a person’s journey. He explained that the third act is about giving back, and once he hangs up his boots, he plans to contribute to the wrestling world by mentoring the next generation. Punk expressed his desire to hone emerging talents and help develop their skills for the future.
So I would definitely look forward to that third act and giving back to the business to me has given me so much.

Furthermore, this suggests that The Second City Saint may consider working with NXT once he wraps up his wrestling career. He could potentially be a candidate to replace Shawn Michaels in the future, taking on a key role in the developmental territory. Until then, all eyes will be on what the future holds for the 46-year-old as he continues to shape his legacy in WWE.
