CM Punk removed from all live events

[RScary15]

CM Punk showed up to Monday Night Raw but then told management that he was going home for an undisclosed reason. WWE has since removed him from all live events and his status at Elimination Chamber is now unknown.

Also notice how there was zero mention of him on Raw after the Authority eliminated him from the rumble.

CM Punk is out with a glute injury that sources are saying was caused by AJ Lee's strap-on

But who was source?

Was just about to post this topic, cant believe a red beat me.


CM Punk, who did not appear at last night's RAW, also did not appear at tonight's SmackDown taping in Toledo, Ohio, despite being advertised for the event.
WWE has since removed Punk from almost all of their upcoming live events and television tapings on the events section of their website, although he remains on the Elimination Chamber page. It is not known at this time if Punk is injured, or if something else is going on. The last tweet that he posted on Monday night stated, "Thanks for all the support. Keep being you guys, it's pretty cool."

Punk's contract is up in July, and he stated in an interview last week that he doesn't know if he will re-sign after it expires, and that "everything is up in the air."

UPDATE: F4WOnline.com reports that Punk apparently told Vince McMahon at last night's RAW that he was going home and left the show. No further details were available other then that he's been removed from all shows going forward.

The rumble probably made him sick, as if he already didn't sound like he was already in that recent Ariel Helwani interview.

Pls aware on why Punk is sick of WWE

Pls aware on why Punk is sick of WWE

I would assume because it's the same old shizz...? He put out a couple of tweets that hinted at his displeasure. Obviously they were vague but that's my guess.

Booking most likely. Having Batista come back and taking the spot light when others deserve it such as Bryan. He had a problem with the Rock coming back a few years ago and headlining Wrestlemania. Just what I think would be his problem with the E

Because the poor bastard gets paid millions of dollars a year to travel the world doing his dream job while banging AJ Lee in his spare time on his private tour bus. How could you not hate that horrible life?

Seems like a total kunt.

[essfjay]

word is that Vince wanted Punk to job to Lesnar on RAW so he took his ball & went home

[WSG1]

He comes across as a whiny bitch sometimes, Like someone said a few posts up, The guy gets paid millions to travel the world and perform in front of thousands and thousands of people a week. Has the longest title reign in 25 years, Multiple time champion. There is nothing to be upset about where he has to question renewing his contract everytime it comes up.

Cheeky... seewhatididthere?

[mark_davis]

Good riddance. Put AJ in a storyline with Big Dave to make sure he stays gone for a while.

I'm sure he had no problem with all the extra money coming his way when Rock was around

[CraigMachine]

CM Punk is going to the UFC and be on the Ultimate Fighter Reality show to kick up those ratings. Dana White will sell Punk like a mother fukah. Not the first time such a thing would happen. Kimbo Slice, Brock Lesnar. Names and entrainment sell 10x better in the UFC then the actual product.

He probably got over it when he got a program with the Rock and made some good money! But before that I know he had interviews where he was pissed that he came back and just headlined mania while he was on the undercard with Jericho at mania.

TOP STAR PULLED FROM ALL WWE DATES GOING FORWARD
by Mike Johnson @ 2:10 AM on 1/29/2014

Former WWE and World champion CM Punk has been pulled from all advertising of WWE live events going forward after a meeting with WWE management yesterday at the Raw taping in Cleveland, Ohio.
We have been working on details for the last 24 hours (as Dave Scherer and I noted on our respective Elite audios earlier today), but the belief among those who are willing to talk about the situation is that Punk is no longer factored into company plans, including Wrestlemania, where he was slated to face Triple H.

We have heard from several sources that the original script for yesterday's Raw called for Punk to wrestle Antonio Cesaro and lose after Kane interfered, allowing Cesaro to qualify for the Elimination Chamber. It should be noted that another source has denied that and claimed that Punk was never booked to wrestle last night and was only booked to do a promo that would follow up on Kane causing Punk's elimination from the Rumble. But, Punk was originally slated to be on Raw and those segments were yanked.

It is believed that when Vince McMahon had the writers re-write Raw late yesterday (6 PM for a taping that was scheduled to start at 7:30), it was because Punk had informed the company he was going home.

While we cannot 100% confirm why, the belief among wrestlers backstage is that Punk leaving was not an injury issue. It was described to us as more likely a case of burnout and unhappiness with the overall direction of the company.

In his interview with Ariel Helwani last week, Punk talked about the crazy schedule he's held up working for the company over the last decade. Punk said that he's been doing it ten years and doesn't know anyone else who can say that. He said that he's only taken time off for injuries and that when he took two months off in 2013, it may not have been long enough.

Punk, who worked about 50 minutes in the Royal Rumble match was described as "pissy" after the PPV, although that wouldn't be an unusual description of Punk's demeanor backstage.

One source believed that since Punk's last goal was to work a Wrestlemania main event, there may have been a situation where Punk realized it wasn't going to happen and with his WWE deal expiring in July, that may have weighed down upon him.

In the interview with Helwani, Punk was asked about WWE killing his momentum and directions changing and was asked why such things happen. Punk responded that he'd like to think they don't make those decisions on purpose and it's more they wanted to go in another decision. He claimed it's a different era and different time and it can't be looked at the same way he did when he was a kid.

Yesterday, Punk wrote on Twitter, "Thanks for all the support. Keep being you guys, it's pretty cool."

We'll obviously update more as we confirm additional details, but don't look for CM Punk on WWE TV, at least as of this writing.

in for Punk going to ROH to fight AJ Styles and Chris Hero

[zabardast]

word is that Vince wanted Punk to job to Lesnar on RAW so he took his ball & went home

His good ole' buddy Jim Ross has said that he was taking his ball and going home

[NickA44]

feels bad man
Huge Punk mark ever since ROH ... hopefully he's just getting all pissy
So much easier watching him every Monday than chasing down ROH stuff

[SerpentHearted]

Because the poor bastard gets paid millions of dollars a year to travel the world doing his dream job while banging AJ Lee in his spare time on his private tour bus. How could you not hate that horrible life?

a thousand times this.

[AttitudeEra]

Please oh please let him be going back to tna. They need some new talent there. Then bring back aj styles for the love of god.

[UndeadSuperStar]

I wouldn't miss him. We've seen him do all be could possibly do besides win the rumble and do mania

As of now he's just a stale vet. There are plenty of those dudes around as is

[John_Connor]

Punk is a quiter a crybaby who's whining because bryan etc are getting more attention.

[bderlan]

in for Punk going to ROH to fight AJ Styles and Chris Hero

Don't forget daniel bryan too

[GJB9]

If the part about Antonio cesaro is true, punk could have at least stayed to put the guy over to get him in the chamber.

EDIT: just seen smackdown spoilers. nevermind.

[CCAurora]

Punk vs. Triple H didn't make sense to me, anyways... Triple H vs. Bryan is an infinitely fresher and more logical matchup.

[Murph0408]

punk's reputation as a pain in the ass is well earned but let's not act like he isn't one of the top 3-5 most valuable guys to the WWE. as a fan i do hope this gets ironed out. i see nothing wrong with the guy taking some time off and coming back fresh; it's not like he's going to jump ship to another wrestling company. let the contract run out, take the summer and regroup, come back next fall or winter.

the schedule really is not healthy. i mean these fukkers are working non stop. have you guys ever really looked at the house show schedule? i don't know how somebody could do that for a few years and NOT become a malcontent

[ItsWhatIDo]

Bad move by Punk. Leaving AJ Lee at Raw alone.





I have some bad news for you brah.
