I would assume he will be entered into the EC match

cena gave lesnar chinese cuts for #1 contender, and that's still binding until the supreme court makes its final ruling

I can see why Punk is on that list. I'd vote for Papa Shango but...I don't vote.

That angle where papa shango made ultimate warrior puke was a classic

Some cool stuff. He wants to induct Warrior.

That video makes interesting viewing directly after reading this...

"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"

well ****

In that video above he says he is not working Raw after the rumble, its his night off. So he was never booked to face Cesaro that night.

I doubt its true.

Edit: Although it has been picked up by the UK press http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-en...0-9092718.html

God damn Punk. Why not whine some more?

I understand he has some good points, but he isnt the only wrestler working 300 days a year. Im sure the guys in the shield have worked the same number of days this year or more as him. But holy god the whole report makes him sound like the worlds biggest pussy

If true, good riddance

I'd give him a little slack for being so pissed at Batista. It's one thing when a guy like Rock or Lesnar comes back because they actually sell a ton of PPVs. It's another when a second rate main eventer like Batista returns and gets pushed to the main event of 'Mania.

This whole Batista thing really makes no sense. His whole gimmick was being a roided freak with an amazing body and now he's a 45 year old that struggled to beat this guy in an MMA match:

Except it does make sense because the E is a business and Dave is staring in a movie that has the potential to be on par with The Avengers box office wise. Having him in the company and dropping hints about the network, wm, etc during pressers for said movies will be HUGE for the E so it makes a ton of sensr

Took his ball and went home.

My reaction too.

Maybe Punk realises that to get the big contract and huge push you have to go away for a couple of years.

Ya, when the likes of Batista show up on mega bucks, book Rumble win and slot at Mania after doing sweet fa last 4 years, 1200 days away from home and then asked to work 50 mins in Rumble, who wouldn't be pissed?

Somebody who understands business and cares about putting on a good show and not neccesarily having to be the top dog?

fyp

There are ways to cash-in on mainstream recognition without having part-timers usurp your biggest stars.

Floyd Mayweather good, Lawrence Taylor bad.

The Rock is an exception because he's a legit superstar - wrestling fans want to see The Rock.

Batista is a mid level guy. He was always overshadowed by Cena, and I have zero desire to see him wrestle, especially not when he's out of shape. Just because he landed a film role as part of an ensemble cast where his speaking time will add up to a few minutes doesn't make me want to see him headline Mania.

Edge, Jericho, Orton AND THE MIZ all were lesser/similar stature stars than Punk and they got to have the last match at Mania; Punk has been at the peak of the company for 3 years as their #2 draw and #1 wrestler and has been usurped by The Rock (fair enough) and now Dave zzzzzzzzzzztista.

First off, the Miz was definitely in the shadow of the Rock and Cena that year.

I'm not saying Batista is good or anything, but let's not pretend Punk has been not terrible. Or that he hasn't had marquee matches in the lady year

Both would suck in the Wrestlemania ME, Batista first deserve it, but Punk is also being a huge bitch about this.

Basically any validated argument C.M. Punk had left with him since he quit the company without proper notice. With that said he will headline WM in 3 years since fans will pay to see his return and what he has to say.

If they gave him his ice cream bars, this never would've happened

Yeah, because Batista is such a big money draw. Last time he headlined Mania with Cena the buyrate was through the roof, right?

There was me thinking the WWE freaked out at that ridiculously poor buyrate.

The guy doesn't draw, is out of shape, disrespects fans, and comes swaggering in on a big money deal with guarantees almost certainly locked in, whilst guys slave over 300 nights a year and are pissed about.
