• Despite a significant setback from a triceps injury sustained at the Royal Rumble, CM Punk remains steadfast in his quest to return to the ring. His commitment to a rigorous rehabilitation regimen has been unwavering, and recent photos showcase a transformed Punk, highlighting his physique and dedication to recovery.
CM Punk’s injury has kept him from competing in matches, yet he has remained a prominent figure on WWE programming, primarily through his intense and bitter feud with Drew McIntyre. Though sidelined from in-ring action, Punk’s dedication to his rehabilitation process has not wavered.
Punk recently shared a photo on Instagram, revealing his muscular transformation. His caption humorously noted his aspiration to match the physique of WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Jade Cargill and acknowledged his wife, AJ Lee’s, impressive fitness.
“Just trying to be as jacked as the lady on my shirt @jadecargill (would settle to be as half as jacked as my wife @theajmendez). Looking good Billy Ray, feeling good Louis,” Punk wrote.
In her response, AJ said she’s in love with Jade, but finds Punk cute as well:
“I’m in love with her but ur cute too.”
