After all the love and birthday wishes from fans flooded in, CM Punk got super real and emotional about it on social media. He dropped a heartfelt message thanking everyone for the birthday love. It was clear he felt the strong support, and he wanted to soak in every bit of the love from the WWE Universe.

CM Punk Talks Retirement Plans

CM Punk got super candid about his retirement plans during a recent WWE vlog. He admitted that he’s standing close to the end of his pro wrestling career. He mentioned how some of his close friends, like John Cena and AJ Styles, are already calling it quits.

Punk was open about not knowing exactly how much longer he’ll keep going, but said he wants to push forward “until the wheels fall off.” It’s like he’s in that phase where he’s soaking it all in and cherishing every moment, but also getting real about the fact that the end is coming sooner rather than later.

So, I’m standing here now, near the end of my career. You know, John Cena’s calling it quits, AJ Styles says he’s going to retire next year, and I don’t know how much time I’ve got left. I’m going to keep going until the wheels fall off.

I know that’s sooner rather than later. That’s why I think it’s important, for all of us, not just me, to celebrate every wrestler as they retire. There’s a whole new generation of talent coming in to take our place, and in a way, we’re excited to see that happen.
