The wrestling world has been talking a lot about CM Punk as of late as it’s rumored that Punk could be making his AEW debut soon. Punk hasn’t officially wrestled since parting ways with WWE in 2014 and since then he’s been focused on other things such as his acting career.
During a recent interview with Movie Trivia Schmoedown the former WWE Champion discussed his acting career and he explained why he wants to follow in the footsteps of Dave Bautista.
“I just want to follow in his footsteps. I watch guys, friends of mine, Dave Bautista, do these huge blockbuster roles but also do roles that are challenging to him because he wants to grow and be a better actor.”
The comments caught the attention of Dave Bautista himself, and the former WrestleMania main eventer declared that he thinks CM Punk will be a bigger star in films than he was in wrestling.
“I already knew this. And the talent is obvious. He’s going to be bigger in films than he was in wrestling. Save this tweet.”

Whether or not The Animal’s prediction will come true remains to be seen, but one way or another all eyes are on CM Punk at the moment.
