Wrestling fans continue to speculate about CM Punk‘s potential return to the ring, and a new report which suggests that the former WWE Champion is in good shape only serves to add even more fuel to these rumors.
Fightful Select reports that Punk has been training, both on his own and for his role on the Starz show “Heels.”
The report states that sources who have worked with Punk have said that, compared to the end of his WWE run, Punk looks “completely healthy.” One source noted that Punk looked so ring ready that they couldn’t help but wonder whether the former champion had working on his in-ring skills, even before he started training for “Heels.” A separate source implied that Punk hadn’t lost a step, though his last WWE match came in 2013.
If nothing else, this report somewhat counters the argument that Punk isn’t in game shape ahead of his potential return. AEW President Tony Khan hasn’t confirmed the rumors regarding Punk, so fans will just have to wait and see what happens next.
