Unless you're living under a rock, every wrestling fan knows that CM Punk has a substantial role in the new TV series, Heels, playing a veteran wrestler named Ricky Rabies. Stephen Amell had matches with Punk on the show, and said that "Punk took such good care of him."

While it would be presumptuous to suggest that this led back to his love of wrestling, that possibility remains. But there might be another reason. CM Punk has subtly moved into an acting career, which by all means, is a path that he seems intent on taking.

Having already acted in a couple of feature films, bagging a role on a premium cable network show, it would make sense that he would want to improve on that. Punk would only multiply his chances of moving on to larger 'canvases' by appearing weekly on TNT.

I already knew this. And the talent is obvious. He’s going to be bigger in films than he was in wrestling. Save this tweet. https://t.co/c9uyyKTsOq

With people like Batista and John Cena paving the way for other wrestlers to move into another entertainment medium, it could only prove to be a boon. The former believes that Punk is set for bigger things, and it's possible; he's not that far off the mark.
