World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk has opened up on his current WWE status and work ahead of WrestleMania 42.
CM Punk main evented WrestleMania for the first time in his career last year, when he, Roman Reigns and CM Punk closed out night one of the show in a three-way match.
This year, Punk looks set to main event WrestleMania once more, with him facing off against Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship following Reigns’ Royal Rumble victory.
Speaking on You Better You Bet, Punk was asked how it feels to main event WrestleMania twice in a row, with Punk commenting on his current status and work, believing he is doing the best work of his career.
He said:
“This is literally everything I ever asked for. I’m the champ, heading into WrestleMania. There’s not a lot that I haven’t accomplished in this business, and to still be operating at this high level as a 47 year old man.
“I think I’m doing the best work of my career, so why would I complain? I’m just grateful for it all. I know my window is closing, this is all gonna end some day, but until then, I’m going until the wheels fall off. I’m super proud of myself.
“I’m not gonna give myself all these flowers while I’m still around, the proof is in the pudding, the proof is I am strapped up, I’m the Heavyweight Champion, I’m on the cover of WWE 2K26, that’s just the fruits of my labour and it justifies all the hard work and sacrifice that I put in to get here.”
