CM Punk has some more plans in store for fans at WrestleMania 40.
Punk posted two new images on his Instagram stories, first showing a bunch of his old ring gear. The image, which includes Straight Edge Society and his WrestleMania 29 gear, featured the caption, “Working on something cool for the fans that are coming to Mania.”
It’s likely that CM Punk is contributing gear for a display at this year’s WWE World exhibit. Last year, the WrestleMania Superstore featured gear from Cody Rhodes, one of Eddie Guerrero’s low riders and other WWE-related memorabilia.
In addition, CM Punk teased filming something “really fun” with Randy Orton.
“I’m not selling my Speedo to some weirdo fanboy on the internet.”
CM Punk spoke with WrestleZone about his debut as “Ricky Rabies” on Heels.
Punk once did a Q&A session where he was asked about holding on to ring gear from his career. Punk said he’d kept everything he’d worn in his carer. WrestleZone’s Bill Pritchard asked Punk if he considered taking anything from his Heels run as a keepsake.
CM Punk explained why he held onto his in-ring gear over the years, and also hinted that he might have kept a couple of items from the set.
“I definitely feel like as I get older I’m more of a memorabilia guy, but man, memorabilia can get fucking expensive for the stuff I like. I want horror movie props. I just never sold any of my gear because I think that’s strange. I don’t want somebody—I mean, I wore trunks, essentially underwear, right? I’m not selling my Speedo to some weirdo fanboy on the internet. I don’t care how much money they’re offering,” Punk said, “because I just feel weird about that, but I have everything from my career.
“I may or may not have a few things of Ricky Rabies. I don’t know. I’ll just say allegedly, maybe, I have a rat or two. You gotta wait and see the show to know what I’m talking about, but I do have a Ricky Rabies shirt that the crew graciously gave me, and I wear it proudly,” Punk stated. “I got some Ricky Rabies stickers too, because Ricky was a big merch guy. He was selling stickers and t-shirts at intermission.”
