CM Punk made a successful comeback to Survivor Series after a hiatus of nine years, which resulted in a tremendous amount of hype throughout the world and increased WWE viewership. Following this notable return, Punk decided to add another tattoo to his collection, bringing the total to 53.
Each tattoo reflects Punk’s personality and holds special significance as a representation of the mantras and symbols guiding his life. Recently unveiled by tattoo artist Nick Colella on Instagram, Punk’s new tattoo showcases a skull with the words “peace of mind” beneath it.
CM Punk reveals expresses his “peace of mind”
It was owing to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that CM Punk did not reveal his departure from AEW when he addressed fans on RAW after making his return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023. However, after his return fans are excited with his rivalry with Seth Rollins, although the timeframe of their potential conflict is still unknown.
Punk, who is well-known for his passion for tattoos, added another one that read, “peace of mind,” which conveyed his desire to find serenity in the midst of all that was going on. As Punk was receiving the flaming lightning skull ink on his calf, tattoo artist Nick Collela released a snapshot of the session. Nick said that during the session Punk discussed the history of wrestling also.
Each tattoo on Punk’s body holds a distinct meaning, and this specific tattoo may symbolize his quest for peace amid the chaos of his life, encompassing his experiences in WWE, AEW, UFC, and everything in between.
CM Punk’s tattoo sparks potential mega feud speculation
Many fans have long fantasized about a battle between two controversial icons from different eras—one from the present era and the other from the Attitude Era—and the other from Stone Cold Steve Austin. Something about Punk’s new tattoo—a lightning skull surrounded in flames—that calls to mind Austin’s insignia keeps the yearning alive.
The first hint was in a RAW segment from 2011 in which Punk and Austin got into an angry altercation backstage; Punk even made fun of Austin’s now-iconic “What?” chant. Although they never really feuded, another hint arose during the marketing of the WWE 2013 video game that included their distinctive personalities.
Following Punk’s comeback, rumors circulated that WWE creatives were contemplating a fantasy bout. The new tattoo, featuring the Stone Cold skull branding with blazing thunder, has piqued fans’ interest. Whether this signifies a real feud or merely a plot point in wrestling remains unknown.
