While CM Punk’s “official” return to wrestling is still a source of speculation, he is returning to the squared circle as “Ricky Rabies” in the new STARZ series Heels. Punk recently spoke with WrestleZone about what the role entails and said writer Michael Waldron came up with the character, but he was able to channel other wrestling performers and add his own spin to the role, creating his own “love letter” to the business.
Heels is airing on STARZ now; check out our full interview with CM Punk below:
