CM Punk feels spoiled at getting to witness John Cena\'s retirement tour up close.
The Second City Saint appeared on Pat McAfee show ahead of Saturday\'s Royal Rumble PPV event. The former world champion talked about things like AJ Lee potentially being in the Rumble, Triple H being in charge of creative and more.
When asked about John Cena\'s retirement tour and his feeling towards the Cenation Leader, CM Punk claimed that he loves Cena to death. Punk, who has previously expressed interest in facing John one more time before his retirement, also hoped that the two come face to face at the PPV this weekend:
\"Ah, love [him] to death. I feel spoiled that I get to witness whatever journey he\'s about to embark on. I think it\'s exciting. I selfishly am looking forward to Saturday. Hopefully there\'s a moment where me and him can have a moment. You know, but there\'s just so many guys, so many bodies. I don\'t know if it\'s in the cards, but we\'ll see.\
We\'re Still Doing It Too: CM Punk
CM Punk is part of a special group of wrestling veterans who started working in the business more than two decades ago and are still doing it at the highest level. Other names in the list includes people like Rey Mysterio, R Truth, and Randy Orton.
When asked how he feels about being part of this fraternity, Punk recalled running into Mysterio at this past Monday\'s Raw. He explained that they all marvel at the longevity of their careers whenever they meet:
\"I remember I walked into one of the locker rooms or something like that, and there\'s just Rey Mysterio, you know what I mean? Every time I see Rey, it could be like an old guy thing, because every time I see Rey, or every time I see [R] Truth, like in the hallway, we all just look at each other. We just like, grab each other and just give each other a big hug. Like, \'Hey man, look at us. This is crazy. Can you believe this?\' Because I\'ve known those guys [for a long time].
I think I wrestled Rey [in] 2001. I\'ve known him a quarter of a century. Truth, same thing. I knew him when I was doing Wednesday night TNA pay-per-views at Nashville fairgrounds. There\'s a bunch of us that it\'s just, it\'s cool to look around and kind of go \'Hey man look at us. We\'re still here, we\'re still doing it too.\'\
