There was a time when wrestling fans believed CM Punk’s days in WWE were over. However, since his return at the monumental Survivor Series: Wargames, Punk has quickly re-established himself among the top stars, even headlining WrestleMania, which symbolized his enduring legacy.
In a recent interview on "Comic Book Nation," Punk promoted his upcoming World Heavyweight Championship match against Gunther at SummerSlam. He reflected on balancing the fact that he hasn’t wrestled consistently for years with his desire to work with some of the best talent currently in WWE.
Punk expressed that stepping into the ring with Gunther means more to him than anything else, emphasizing that while winning the title is his ultimate goal, he is motivated by the opportunity to compete with such skilled wrestlers. He named several competitors he wants to face, including Bron Breakker, Chad Gable, and Damian Priest.
With SummerSlam marking Punk’s first televised match against Gunther, he is aiming for his first world championship since rejoining WWE.
