CM Punk Breaks Silence on Scary Moment Against Bron Breakker: “I Thought I’d Broken My Ankle”
CM Punk’s WWE comeback continues to deliver unforgettable moments—and now, one of the most alarming incidents from his recent match has finally been explained.
The reigning World Heavyweight Champion defended his title against Bron Breakker on a hard-hitting episode of Monday Night RAW in Brooklyn, a bout that pushed Punk to his physical limits. While fans praised the intensity of the match, few realized just how close things came to disaster inside the ring.
Punk recently appeared on the NotSam Podcast, where he revealed a frightening moment that occurred mid-match and left him convinced his night — and possibly his career — was about to end.
According to Punk, everything happened in an instant.
He explained that during the chaos of the match, he suddenly felt something wasn’t right and glanced down at his foot, which appeared twisted unnaturally. For a brief but terrifying moment, Punk believed he had suffered a broken ankle.
Just as panic set in, he realized the truth was almost unbelievable.
Punk revealed that his wrestling boot had been completely knocked off — despite still being tightly laced. The force of Breakker’s offense was so intense that it sent Punk straight out of his boot without loosening the laces, leaving him stunned and confused in the middle of the match.
The Chicago native admitted he still doesn’t know exactly how or when it happened, only that the impact was powerful enough to make him fear the worst before realizing he had narrowly avoided serious injury.
The revelation sheds new light on Punk’s championship defense and highlights just how physical his current WWE run has become. At this stage of his career, CM Punk continues to put his body on the line, proving that his return to WWE is anything but a nostalgia act — and that Bron Breakker may be one of the most dangerous opponents he’s faced yet.
