CM Punk reveals ‘bucket list’ wish involving John Cena and Batista
After spending years together in WWE, CM Punk has now revealed his ‘bucket list’ wish of starring in a movie with the likes of former wrestlers, John Cena and Batista (Dave Bautista). While Punk actively wrestles in WWE, Cena and Batista have moved on, with both currently having successful Hollywood careers. Speaking on My Mom’s Basement, Punk opened up about potentially starring in a movie with the two former WWE World Champions.
“I’ve had a couple meetings, and that topic has come up. I can only imagine what John’s slate looks like; it’s probably super, super busy,” Punk continued. “I’d imagine some time in the future we’ll be working together. I’ve got like bucket list names I wanna work with, and selfishly a lot of them are my friends; Dave (Bautista) and John are probably like the top two.”
Cena retired from wrestling on December 13, 2025, when he tapped out to Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event, something which Punk found “beautiful.” On the other hand, Batista moved on from WWE a long time ago, having wrestled his possible last match against Triple H at WrestleMania 35.
