Not a lot happened today in wrestling history if I’m honest, so I was quietly minding my own business looking forward to Payback when I was hit with the news that everyone hoped would never come.
It seems CM Punk has finally admitted the retirement news. According to many online reports Punk was interviewed as part of some charity work he was doing to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of Wrigley Field.
The former WWE Champion was asked what it was like to be retired at 35, and he replied “it feels good” before talking about all the things he can now do because he’s retired.
“I get to do fun stuff like bowl and paint chairs and play wiffle ball with Bill Murray. It was super fun and for a great cause. You’ve got athletes and actresses and musicians and all kinds of people painting chairs. I’m super happy to be a part of it.” said the best in the world.
WWE.com this morning incorrectly advertised CM Punk and AJ Lee for the Smackdown tapings in Texas on July 24th, a correction was quickly made.
Today does mark the 28th Birthday of Hornswoggle and the 35th Birthday of former WWE superstar Brian Kendrick.
