CM Punk Is Having ‘Time of My Life’ In WWE, Says World Title Was an ‘Unexpected Treat’

CM Punk feels good about his WWE run, noting that he’s having the time of his life and that the World Heavyweight Title was an added bonus. Punk won the title at Saturday Night’s Main Event, and in the midst of finding new success since he returned. He appeared on WGN TV in Chicago for a new interview and talked about his run so far. You can see highlights below:

On Being Back In WWE:

“Oh, it’s tremendous. Having — literally having the time of my life. And I think it resonates, I think you can see it. This (having the World Heavyweight Title] is an unexpected treat. And obviously I’m older, I’m more mature. And I feel like I get it now. The weight of this, it isn’t so heavy. But I have more of an understanding now, like, ‘Yeah, this is part of the job.’ And I know some day this is all gonna be over, so I’m just enjoying it.”

On the Support of Chicago Fans:

“No, no [it never gets old]. And you saw [in a clip], the one guy hugging me. It’s the warm embrace of Chicago as a whole and I can still feel it. I feel it today. I love being here, I love performing.

“I was just in Madison Square Garden on Monday night. And the fans in Madison Square Garden are very important and integral to what we do. But to me, obviously the fans in Chicago? Best in the world.”
