CM Punk returns to Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena this Saturday for UFC 203, the first time he will step in the building since he walked out on Vince McMahon before Raw on January 27, 2014.
Despite the fact that Punk has not wrestled in nearly three years—and is a mere two days away from making his debut in the Octagon—the disciplines of pro wrestling and pro fighting continue to intertwine in his life.
While Punk is finished with WWE, he is open to the idea of wrestling for New Japan Pro Wrestling.
“A long time ago I stopped saying ‘never,’ but that’s a loaded question,” Punk explained.
