CM Punk’s departure

By Scott Keith on 10 June 2018


So based on the lawsuit he just won, was CM Punk’s departure from WWE mostly based on him getting a concussion in the Royal Rumble and being eliminated by Kane? Was he planning on leaving anyways no matter what happened
in that match? Since he was WWE Champion for 434 days and had Paul Heyman as his manager it’s not like they didn’t push him.


Also, why did they only do 1 match with Punk and Lesnar? Were there ever plans for a rematch, and did they get along since they were both Heyman guys?


Punk was always leaving and had been telling his friends for weeks how he was unhappy about not being in the main event of Wrestlemania. The idea with the Kane feud was to set up a match with HHH at WM but that wasn’t enough to entice him to stay.
