Renee Paquette: ‘At The End Of The Day Wrestling Is The Thing That Makes CM Punk Tick’
Renee Paquette wants to see CM Punk wrestle again.
Renee Paquette and CM Punk have a unique relationship. Punk would even return to WWE programming alongside Renee on WWE Backstage.
Of course, CM Punk has not wrestled since 2014. However, he has said with the right price or the right creativity, he would consider a return.
Speaking to Metro, Renee Paquette said that if Punk never returned it would be a great disappointment, feeling that Punk will always be a wrestler at heart.
“I think it would be an absolute shame if he did not come back. Like you said, that passion is still there! He’s a wrestler! He is a wrestler through and through. Whether he was busy doing movies or TV shows or other aspirations that he has, I think at the end of the day wrestling is the thing that makes that guy tick. I think for him to not come back in some capacity, whatever creative he ends up working out that he really wants to do – I think ultimately, that’s what it would come down to for him, is finding that great creative.”
She added, “Paychecks are nice too, but really I think it’s just being able to tell the stories that you wanna be able to tell,” she pondered. “He’s got lots that he could serve up to both promotions – WWE or AEW. But people would lose their minds to see him come back, so let’s hope that he doesn’t have too much dust on those boots.”
CM Punk will return to the ring as part of “Heels” on Starz. Learn more here.
