CM Punk Details New Process For Talent Requesting Time Off In WWE

Although it isn’t a foreign concept to most employees, the world of WWE has always been a bizarre one, especially when it comes to taking time off. Aside from injury and some exceptions, WWE talent were on the road for the majority of the year under the old regime, leading to worn down bodies and burnout. Ever since CM Punk came back to WWE in 2023, there has been a different system in place.

When speaking in a live episode of The Masked Man Show at Fanatics Fest this weekend, Punk spoke on how WWE talent can now request to take time off - something which was not present during his previous run.

“What I think is now in place is a system and management that understands (burnout). The talent, again, is so rich that if Cody needs a show off, he can take that day off. If I need a day off, I can take that day off. I’m still flabbergasted there’s a tab on the WWE app that you can click and you can request days off. Brother, it still blows my mind. It’s a brave new world.”

This is a positive change for the wellbeing of talent, and Punk seems to be very happy about it.
