What's Your Story? with Steph McMahon · CM Punk · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

And I, and I was, I was slowing down.

I wanted to take a bit of a break.

I was on the road for a very, very long time.

I was fortunate.

I did every house show, every pay-per-view, you know, um, I was running hard for a very long time and,

And looking back on it, like 2006 to 2011, it might not sound like a lot of times, you know, but I mean, the international tours we would do and everything.

And because I think I wasn't creatively or monetarily like satisfied with where I was, I was like, okay, well I can,

take six months off and then i can come back you know like let me let me take a break let me take a break and then lightning struck with the pipe bomb and that whole situation to me was you know like just magic and like we we captured that and it was like well okay i can either go home and squander this or i can ride this lightning bolt you know and

I remember, um, no, mind you, the, the context is I'm still very much leaving.

Right.

Yeah.

I, I have not, I have no new contract.
