CM Punk says he is no longer focused on contracts or a specific number of matches when it comes to retirement.
The Undisputed WWE Champion recently appeared on WWE Radio, where he was asked whether he thinks about the end of his in-ring career. Punk admitted that the thought crosses his mind from time to time, but said his decision will ultimately depend on how his body feels rather than any predetermined timeline.
“I do, but not much. It’s a fleeting moment, you know? Just because I know I’m much closer to the end than I am the beginning. Where that end is? Nobody knows. I don’t even know.”

Punk explained that he is currently feeling better than he has in years and has placed a greater emphasis on recovery, which has allowed him to continue performing at a high level.
“It’s not measured in the length of a contract. It’s not measured in matches. To me, it’s honestly, it’s measured in health. It’s how I look and it’s more importantly how I feel. And right now, I’ve never felt better. I’m double-timing my recovery on things, which is something I’ve never been really great at.”
While Punk acknowledged that retirement is inevitable, he made it clear that he has no plans to walk away as long as he remains healthy enough to compete.
“So I’m just going to go until the wheels fall off. We’ll see what happens.” [H/T SEScoops]
Punk’s immediate focus remains on SummerSlam, where he is set to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes in the Night 1 main event. WrestleZone will provide live coverage of the premium live event across both nights.
