CM Punk: "I’m doing the best work of my career"

CM Punk left WWE in 2014 disenchanted with the treatment he received. From then on, he retired from professional wrestling and tried his luck in MMA. After realizing he wasn't cut out for this sport, "The Best in the World" returned to the business, this time in All Elite Wrestling.

His time in Tony Khan's company left behind several controversies in the form of backstage fights, one of which led to his dismissal. At that time, it seemed like his career had come to an end, but in a turn of events, WWE rehired him, giving fans one of the most anticipated comebacks in history. 

It's been almost two years since then, and CM Punk seems happier than ever. His interaction with fans and his fellow wrestlers, his visits to the Performance Center in Orlando to help young talents, and his overall mood, suggest that "The Best in the World" is enjoying what could be his final stage as a professional. Something he has fully embraced, as he explained in a recent interview for KSL.

"I'm lucky to keep growing in this business. The other day I turned 47 years old, and some people would say that's a disadvantage; I think it's one of the most positive things for me," he said. "I'm this age and operating at this level, doing what I consider the best job of my career."

CM Punk will be one of the main stars of the upcoming edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, where he will face Jey Uso for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship, after Seth Rollins was sidelined due to a shoulder injury. In just over 24 hours, "The Best in the World" will have the opportunity to regain a title he could barely enjoy at WrestleMania 41.
