10 Wrestling Facts We Didn’t Know Last Week (1 Nov)

2. How Much It'd Take To Get Punk Back In WWE

It'd take more than a few shots of cow's milk to tempt CM Punk back into WWE life.

During another interview with Pardon My Take, the wrestler-turned-fighter-turned-actor-turned-writer said that he'd need to start the conversation somewhere around "twenty, twenty-five". It's not hard to read between the lines and see that Punk is talking about millions, not thousands.

There's an element of facetiousness about Punk's comments here. He's hardly strapped for cash, and doesn't need to flash his knickers to anyone in pro wrestling. Still, it's endlessly intriguing that he's no longer explicitly saying 'No, f*ck that' when the media ask about a potential WWE return. Maybe that figure will drop over time if he softens to the idea further.

Punk did also note that he wouldn't ever be up for working a show in Saudi Arabia. If reports on Tyson Fury's Crown Jewel earnings are to be believed, then that's possibly the only way WWE would entertain such a ballpark figure.
