Now, the Second City Saint has landed another acting gig. According to a report in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), Dave Meltzer reported that CM Punk has taken up a role in the second season of the ABC TV show R.J. Decker.

The series is centered around a private investigator, RJ Decker (played by Scott Speedman), in the Miami area. A former newspaper photographer turned private investigator, Decker begins his career as a PI in South Florida after being released from prison.

At the moment, it is unclear what role Punk will be playing and how important it will be in the new season. This new gig adds to the WWE star’s growing portfolio outside the ring.

He has made appearances on TV series before with his role as an independent wrestler in the show Heels, and he also played a military veteran in the FX show Mayans M.C.

WWE Superstar claims CM Punk has gone soft

Ever since his blockbuster return to WWE in 2023, CM Punk has been lauded for his professionalism behind the scenes. He has been praised for a changed attitude compared to his previous stint with the company.

During a recent interview on Busted Open, new NXT Champion Grayson Waller talked about holding his own against the Voice of the Voiceless in a promo battle.

Waller said he can go toe-to-toe with him on the mic but said beating him in a promo is a different thing, lauding Punk’s mic skills. However, he said that Punk has lost his edge since returning to WWE.

The Aussie star said the WWE Champion has “softened,” saying he has a beautiful wife, has been a champion and main evented WrestleMania since his return. Waller mentioned that he can push him and get the old CM Punk back.
