CM Punk Booked for CFFC 156 Commentary During WWE Hiatus

The confirmed June 26 booth appearance underscores Punk’s active crossover into MMA media despite WWE not announcing his next on‑screen date.

Overview

  • Cage Fury Fighting Championships announced that CM Punk will work the commentary booth for CFFC 156 on Friday, June 26 in Rockford, Illinois alongside longtime MMA journalist John Morgan.
  • Punk has not appeared on WWE television since April 20 and his on‑screen status with the company remains unresolved, with reports offering competing accounts rather than a confirmed plan.
  • Some reporters have speculated that WWE could draft Punk to SmackDown or bring him back at a July 6 Raw in Chicago, but those suggestions are unconfirmed and should be treated as rumor.
  • Punk’s prior MMA record is 0-1 with one fight ruled a no contest, a history that coverage says makes a competitive UFC comeback unlikely while explaining his place in fight commentary.
  • The CFFC booking keeps Punk visible to fans and media and could shape WWE’s timing of a return or storyline by signaling he is available for outside appearances during his break.
