Breaking: CM Punk reportedly left Raw

I called this yesterday. After how terribly he's been booked over the past year and considering this is quite possibly the worst period of programming in WWE history, this doesn't surprise me at all. I don't blame him at all, and I wouldn't at all be surprised if he doesn't come back. Good for him. Guys like Punk, Bryan and Ziggler are better than the crap they're being given to work with on a regular basis. He deserves better. I wish one by one they'd all leave this sinking ship.

Couldn't have said it any better myself. I think it's another case of Triple H abusing his power to bring back his buddies and giving them the top spot, when others who have busted their asses for years and just get put on the back-burner. Not fair at all.

Punk busted his ass for WWE for the last few years, but what has Batista done for the company?? Sweet-shit-all. Batista was totally undeserving of winning the Royal Rumble and especially getting the top spot at WrestleMania. Don't worry, when that crowd boos the sh*t out of him and his sh*tty match, then they'll wish they put either Bryan or Punk in that spot instead.

If he truly does leave WWE im going to miss the guy.

He honestly is one reason that I still continue to watch the product. I hope this is all just a work.

I noticed he does have a bad attitude when things dont go his way. Look at people like Bryan or Cesaro. They arent complaining..

Vince should be scrambling to put Austin vs Punk together for the Main Event right now. Rock's out, Punk's pissed, and Mania 30 definitely needs Austin's star power. Both guys want the match, all Vince has to do is agree to give Austin the Main Event, which should be zero issue this year. I love Daniel Bryan right now, I think it's awesome what he's done, but he takes a backseat to Punk vs Austin imo.

I understand WWE wanting to do HHH vs Bryan because it's really the most obvious match that has been building for months. But Bryan should of won the Royal Rumble. So if you don't up on that decision, then you don't have this issue with Punk. CM Punk is important enough to me that I'lll watch him anywhere he goes. Vince can't afford to lose him, and CM Punk doesn't want to diminish his value by going anywhere else, especially since he scratched and clawed to get to the spot he is in right now. Punk is this generations Macho Man to Cena's Hogan, and I personally have no desire to see him go anywhere.

Kane vs Punk is a throwaway EC feud, not a Mania showdown. Sorry, I'm with Punk on this one.

So here I guess is all we know of this (Credit WrestlingAttitude.com EDIT: also Wrestling Observer, PWInsider.com as well):

Word has come out that CM Punk has left WWE, according to sources for the Wrestling Observer and PWInsider.

After being re-written out of the script for Raw, Punk reportedly told Vince McMahon he was going home and that he wasn't coming back. The company responded by pulling him from all of his scheduled WWE dates going forward.

Punk was scheduled to face Triple H at WrestleMania 30, but as we saw on Raw, early signs may have been shown that Triple H will be facing Daniel Bryan at Mania instead. No word if the match change is what caused Punk to leave, or if the match was changed because Punk left. ProWrestling.net reports that Bryan VS HHH is, indeed, the current plan for Mania.

In the past, Punk had been very vocal about "part-time" wrestlers returning to WWE and getting pushed ahead of guys who are there on a nightly basis, and that may be a reason for him being upset. PWInsider says that Punk's final goal for his time with WWE was to main event WrestleMania, and with his current contract expiring in July, and with it becoming more and more apparent that he would not be main eventing Mania this year, his failure to achieve that goal may be a driving force for his departure.

All signs indicate that this is not a work, but we'll pass on any more information as it comes in.

Guys lets looks at the real tragedy here...his girlfriend is left unguarded around Batista

If true this is a shame. I like Bryan, but Punk was by far my favorite full-timer.

I dont see why Triple H is getting the full blame. Im sure Vince still has a lot to do with decision making.

As much as I like CM Punk, he does have an attitude. He needs to realize that its not all about him. I do see where he is coming from, but come on.

Too good to be true. He will be off til after EC and slide back into a main event spot. Of course, if he is really gone, good riddance. Hopefully he never returns. No Rumble 2015, 16, 17, etc. return for Wrestlemania. If he is gone, there will be much rejoicing from me.
