WWE Superstar CM Punk is among the most popular stars in professional wrestling. He has been part of several memorable moments over the years. However, the veteran recently spoke about a recent one, for which he was very grateful.
The Second City Saint wrestled his first match in Saudi Arabia last month at the Night of Champions PLE. He challenged John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship at the premium live event. Unfortunately, he could not secure the win against his longtime rival.
Speaking at a recent San Diego Comic-Con panel, CM Punk noted that he was very fortunate to have a career filled with several memorable moments, including facing John Cena in the latter's Farewell Tour. Punk admitted to having become very soft and sentimental in his old age and always overflowing with gratitude.

"I've been fortunate to have a pretty long career filled with a lot of great moments. I think that’s just another one. My storied history with Cena, and for it to be wrapping up for him. I mean, he’s only got, like, 14 to 15 dates left. To be able to be in his orbit during his retirement [tour] and get to do fun stuff like that, it meant a lot to me. I’m turning very, very soft in my old age, so I am always just overflowing with gratitude. That moment was absolutely no different. I don’t think anybody expected that. It was a little bit different. It was fun. Obviously, I think we’re in the business of creating moments. So again, super grateful I still can do that and contribute at this level," he said. [H/T: Fightful]

John Cena and CM Punk will be in action at WWE SummerSlam
CM Punk is in pursuit of his first championship win since his return to WWE after over a decade. The Second City Saint won a Gauntlet Match on the July 14 edition of Monday Night RAW to earn a shot at Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. The title match will reportedly headline Night One of the first-ever two-night edition of the premium live event.
In Night Two's main event, John Cena will put his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line against Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight. The American Nightmare forced The Last Real Champion to sign the contract with the added stipulation for their title match after the latter had refused to compete at The Biggest Party of the Summer during the contract signing, citing emotional and physical exhaustion.
It remains to be seen if CM Punk can finally win his first title in his current run with the wrestling promotion at SummerSlam.
