CM Punk is currently 47 years old and is set to turn 48 in October. While Punk is still featured as one of the top stars in WWE, it’s true to that he’s much closer to the end of his career than he is the beginning. Several of CM Punk’s peers have retired in recent years, but The Second City Saint is still going strong.
While talking about his own plans for retirement on Busted Open Radio, CM Punk stated that the rest of his career can’t be measured in the length of a contract, but rather it will be measured in health.
“It’s a fleeting moment, you know? Just because I know I’m much closer to the end than I am the beginning. Where that end is? Nobody knows. I don’t even know. It’s not measured in the length of a contract. It’s not measured in matches. To me, it’s measured in health.
It’s how I look and it’s more importantly how I feel. And right now, I’ve never felt better. I’m double-timing my recovery on things, which is something I’ve never been really great at. And the business now allows you to fit all that in. So I’m just going to go until the wheels fall off. We’ll see what happens.”
CM Punk will be in action this weekend as he’s set to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. WWE recently confirmed the Punk vs. Cody match will take place during night 1 of SummerSlam, and the full lineup for both nights can be seen here.
