It seems that CM Punk may have found a new home at NXT while he recovers from his recent injury. WWE executive Shawn Michaels, who now holds the position of Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative for the NXT brand, has expressed his openness to having Punk help coach the future superstars of wrestling.
In a recent interview with The Agency, Michaels discussed the possibility of Punk lending his expertise while he is unable to compete due to a torn triceps. The former world champion was understandably emotional as he announced that he will not be able to participate in WrestleMania 40 in April due to the injury he sustained at the Royal Rumble last week.
Michaels shared that Punk has already been spending time at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, and has mentioned the idea of doing his physical therapy there. "He knows these doors are always open to him," Michaels said. "I understand that he still has a career he wants to pursue, and like all of us, he probably wants to end it on his own terms."
The Hall of Famer, famously known as the Heartbreak Kid, also mentioned that he would love to have Punk around even after he retires from in-ring competition. "He's the one who will determine that," Michaels added. "But from my personal opinion, he's always welcome here."
While there has been speculation about Punk potentially taking on a role within NXT or the Performance Center in the future, Michaels believes that Punk's main focus at the moment is getting healthy and returning to the ring. However, he also acknowledged that Punk has his number and knows that he can always reach out for any opportunities.
The young wrestlers at NXT have also been enjoying having Punk around, as it provides them with a different perspective and insight on the industry. Michaels believes that having different individuals come in and share their knowledge can only be beneficial for the talent.
In the meantime, WWE fans can tune in to NXT Vengeance Day this Sunday, February 4, to see what the future holds for the brand. And if you have any celebrity stories, videos, or pictures, be sure to get in touch with The Agency entertainment team - they would love to hear from you!
