Former WWE Champion Strongly Believes CM Punk Will Be Bigger in Hollywood Than Pro Wrestling

Former WWE superstar CM Punk recently expressed his wish to be in Hollywood. He name-dropped former WWE superstar and Hollywood star, Dave Bautista as his ‘guiding star.’

Recently, this wish made its way to Bautista very soon, and the Hollywood superstar responded. It seems CM Punk has Bautista’s nod of approval when it comes to the ‘Best in the World‘s Hollywood career.

“I just want to follow in his footsteps,” CM Punk said initially. “I watch guys, friends of mine, Dave Bautista, do these huge blockbuster roles but also do roles that are challenging to him because he wants to grow and be a better actor.“
Bautista not only approves Punk’s plan, but he also mentioned that Punk is capable of becoming the next big thing. The Guardians of the Galaxy star wrote, “I already knew this. And the talent is obvious. He’s going to be bigger in films than he was in wrestling. Save this tweet.”
