Since returning to WWE last fall, the former WWE and AEW World Champion has popped up at WWE’s Performance Center in Florida, where rumor had it that Punk’s long-term goal is to succeed Shawn Michaels in NXT. During a revealing interview with Ariel Helwani in April, Punk talked about the years of wisdom he’s acquired after working for and studying under Paul Heyman, former wrestler and founder of Ohio Valley Wrestling, Danny Davis, and Vince McMahon. Punk also noted that he still asks questions to retired stars like Michaels and Triple H (Paul Levesque) while revealing his desire to give back to the industry.
