The AEW fans in Chicago are waiting for their hometown hero’s return after nearly a year. CM Punk will address the crowd and will also have his first-ever match at the United Center Arena at AEW Collison. ‘The Best in the World’ was out of action as he was recovering from an injury. However, he is feeling a hundred percent fit and recently, credited a former WWE superstar and a few people for his well-being after doing “dumb stuff”.

CM Punk credits his “support system” for his recovery

Recovering from an injury is not an easy thing. Professional wrestlers get severely injured after putting their bodies through brutal punishment and recovery is often tough. However, in an interview with ESPN, CM Punk credited his wife AJ Lee, close friends, and the rehab team for his smooth recovery.

The 44-year-old stated with, “I think, in wrestling, we always kind of joke how we always get hurt doing the dumb stuff. Fall off a 15-foot ladder through a table and you’re fine and you’re running 6 miles the next day and you’re in the gym.”

He said, “And then it’s just always the dumb little things, like some routine thing that I’ve done a thousand times in my career, and it injures you. And then just the mental aspect of this recovery, it has not been easy.”

“Luckily, I’ve got a really good support system, my wife [April Mendez, a three-time WWE divas champion under the moniker AJ Lee] and [dog] Larry, and I’ve got great friends and a super great rehab team that was able to get me back this quickly even though it doesn’t feel — it feels like it was 12 years ago,” the ‘Voice of the Voiceless added.

Over the past few months when Punk was recovering, he stayed away from the media. He got his things together and spend time with his close ones.
