Booker T says CM Punk misses professional wrestling.
On June 9th at UFC 225, former WWE Champion CM Punk will be in his second mixed-martial-arts fight against Mike Jackson. CM Punk lost his first bout against Mickey Gall but Jackson has a closer level of experience to CM Punk. On Heated Conversations, Booker T was asked if he thinks CM Punk would return to professional wrestling if he loses at UFC 225.
"I think he will be at All In. I think if he loses this fight he will be at All In with the Young Bucks and Cody Rhodes. Making his way back to the pro wrestling world. I really think CM Punk missed the wrestling world. I just think he had a bad taste in his mouth but he can get it back," said Booker T.
CM Punk is scheduled for an appearance in Chicago the night before All In which takes place at the Sears Centre Arena on September 1st. Matt Jackson of the Young Bucks has been open regarding talking to CM Punk about All In.
Fightful MMA will have live coverage and a recapping podcast for CM Punk's fight at UFC 225.
