It’s been years since fans have seen CM Punk in the ring, and it doesn’t sound like he’ll be returning to the wrestling world anytime soon.
Punk has been focused on other projects since parting ways with WWE, and he recently wrapped up filming for his new horror film “Girl On The Third Floor” according to Deadline.
This is Punk’s first lead role in a movie, and the synopsis for the film reads as follows: “Brooks stars as Don Koch, a man who is failing as a husband. He now views fixing up an old house as a chance to make up for past mistakes. Meanwhile, his wife, Liz Koch, is concerned about the renovation timeline as they have a baby on the way. As Don tears the house apart, it begins to tear him apart as well, revealing the rot behind the drywall.”
“I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to take on the lead role in Girl On The Third Floor,” said Brooks. “I’m a longtime personal fan of genre films and this project was an absolute natural fit for me.”
“Phil Brooks has proven his abilities as an actor outside of the ring and is a natural fit for the lead,” producer Greg Newman said. “His range and performance will surely delight and surprise those who know him best from his athletic career. We’re thrilled and honored to have him on the project.”
