WWE superstar CM Punk is set to make his return to the MMA commentary booth. Cage Fury Fighting Championships announced that the veteran performer will join the broadcast team for CFFC 156 on Friday, June 26.
The event, titled CFFC 156: Stanford Lewis, will take place at the Hard Rock Casino in Rockford, Illinois. The card is headlined by an interim heavyweight championship bout between Jackson Stanford and Bevon Lewis. Punk will be calling the action alongside CFFC General Manager and journalist John Morgan.
A Familiar Role for the WWE Star
Punk has served as a color commentator for the promotion since 2018. While his appearances have been less frequent since his return to WWE in 2023, the promotion’s debut in his home state of Illinois provided a unique opportunity for his return to the booth.
This appearance marks a notable return for the former world champion, who has balanced his professional wrestling career with his work in the MMA space for several years. Fans of the performer will likely be watching closely to see if he addresses his current status in the wrestling world during the broadcast.
The event serves as a homecoming of sorts for the Chicago-area native. Given his history of using the CFFC platform to drop hints about his career moves, including a notable tease prior to his 2021 wrestling return, his presence at the commentary desk is sure to draw significant attention from the wrestling community.
