I only watched the opening segment and then gave up but apparently, from reading the RAW thread, not only did he not appear on the show; he wasn't even mentioned or referenced once. Is that true? And if so, any conspiracy theories as to why? Seems very strange to me. Even when Superman misses RAW on a rare occasion they still would show a promo video or something.
Honestly, I wouldn't blame Punk if he just straight up walked out considering how horrificly he's been booked over the past year.

they mentioned Punk once talking about the Rumble and how amazing Reigns was, they threw in that Seth Rollins was in the match 2nd longest behind Punk (who was eliminated by Kane) Kane wasn't on either. Weird night

Let's just see how "Horrifically he's been booked over the past year"....
They have him stay in the longest in the Rumble and was only eliminated by outside interference.
He was booked to defeat all 3 members of the Shield at once.
He defeated Ryback, Axel, Heyman on several occasions. Sometimes two one one.
Very competitive match with the Undertaker at WM.
Only loses to Lesnar due to outside interference from Heyman.
Yeah I could totally see why he would walk out. And there's no way him being off for one week could have been due to him selling the choke slam through the table the night before.

I think Punk is going to get a little worried. Seems that the audience wants Bryan more than him. It would be nice to see this make him turn heel so we get more matches between the two of them. I think the appeal of Punk is dwindling and he'll leave in July. It'll be a good thing. He is getting a little stale and some more time away will be the best for him.

No Punk made the show better for me. I have always hated Punk and I usually fast forward his crap anyway. Now he's feuding with Kane, who overall I am a fan of, but he is in another of his boring stages. Lets just say I was ecstatic to have a much needed break from that angle.

Spending the better part of the year feuding with mega stars Curtis Axel and Ryback wasn't a waste of time at all. Look what that historic feud did for all three of their careers! If you don't get it by now then you're clueless. Punk doesn't care about winning handicap matches again mid carders to open PPVs. His talents have been wasted since his match at SummerSlam, much like Daniel Bryan. I wouldn't be surprised if he really considers leaving once his deal is up in July.

Punk's going to end up facing Orton or HHH in a match he doesn't care about at Mania. I would of loved to see Punk vs Orton for the title had they really dug into Punk being the anti establishment guy.
I'm prepared for Punk to leave the company though. What I'd like to see him do is sign a new contract but have it start around Rumble time of next year. That way we can get a break from him and then we can get Cena vs Punk at Mania without them really having been in contact with each other for a decent amount of time. I see Punk looking for a new challenge though because he doesn't seem like he's finding it in WWE. Punk's one of my favorite guys of all time, so I do hope he stays because he makes the show worth watching for me, but I wouldn't be shocked to see him walk.
This Kane story sucks imo. It feels like filler to get us to Punk's Mania story. Also, Kane looks ridiculous wrestling in dress pants and no shirt. I'm sure the match will be solid, but having Punk off the show last night seemed like a way to avoid having to explain why Punk wouldn't be in the Chamber fighting for the title. Seems like Bryan, Cena, Sheamus, Orton, Wyatt, and Brock will be in the Chamber.

The amount of bitching he does is annoying, he was given the gift of a year long title reign dispute not being the top star in the company and still feels slighted. The sooner he rides off into the sunset the better, however despite how much he tries to make it seem that he does not care about the money, he will stick around to collect those big checks for all of the tedious misuse his character had to endure.

Did anyone ever stop and think that maybe he wasn't on Raw because of the story line with Kane destroying Punk at the Royal Rumble and putting him through a table, and that he's probably too hurt to be on Raw??
Just because he wasn't on Raw doesn't mean he walked out, or is angry with how he's being booked. It's called 'story lines' people, been happening for many years in the WWE.
Any money says he will be on Smackdown and call out Kane there.

It was said that since the numerous rewrites that Punk was written off the show for last night. They were going to have him in a qualifying match for the chamber but they didn't count on the lack of Bryan hate and went with the six man tag instead.
Still, they kept that horrendous Diva tag match instead of letting Punk, at the very least, cut a promo. That says something.

If you know him so well you could have just asked him yourself why he wasn't on RAW.

I think they kept Punk off TV to sell the Kane chokeslam through the table.

I thought it was pretty weird. The only thing I can think of is maybe they are holding it off until Smackdown along with Christian's return. I still don't know why everyone says he has been b*tching since I have yet to see any proof and it supposedly didn't become an issue for anyone until he start his feud with the Authority. Hmmmm... definitely couldn't be for storyline purposes or anything

Imagine if Bryan left for tna. He'd probably go back to ROH before even considering TNA.
