WWE’s CM Punk reveals next non-wrestling gig that’s coming soon

Fresh off his successful title defense against Bron Breakker at WWE’s Monday Night RAW’s Stranger Things-themed episode, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk has now opened up about his next non-wrestling venture, while reflecting on his other projects outside of the squared circle.

After parting ways with WWE in 2014, Punk acted in movies, wrote comics, fought in the UFC, did MMA commentary, and eventually made his pro-wrestling return in 2021. Speaking on the latest episode of the My Mom’s Basement podcast while promoting his upcoming film, Night Patrol, current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Punk opened up about exploring a career as a film director.

“It’s been offered,” Punk said of potentially directing a movie. “It’s one of those things, a lot like writing comic books or fighting in the UFC, that it was offered to me, and it’s kind of unknown and scary, so now I have to do it.

“I think the VHS series is a pretty good way to get my feet wet in that regard. It’s definitely something that is more than likely gonna happen within the next year,” he continued.

Since his movie debut in 2013, Punk has been featured in seven films, with his most recent role in Zootopia 2, in addition to multiple other television show appearances.

WWE’s CM Punk also set to star in Netflix’s new Rom-com flick
