CM Punk Has Had No Contact With WWE And Is Happy At Home

A source very close to the CM Punk / WWE situation has told the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the star hasn't had contact with his employer in a long time. Punk had become frustrated with WWE's booking and the reduced payoffs over the last year, he wasn't happy on the road and is said to be far more content living at home as a regular person. With his contract expiring in July, Punk seems highly unlikely to resolve things with WWE at this late stage. Even before his departure there had been people backstage who said he was unlikely to stay with the company for another contract. There is some confusion to what status Punk will actually find himself in after his July expiry date. He may not be free to do other things at that time because WWE could claim that he owes them an additional six months due to failing to complete the final six months on his current deal. This could be a final way for WWE to screw Punk over, but alternatively, they might just be glad to wash their hands of him. It isn't as if Punk is going to go to another wrestling promotion or do anything that could hurt WWE, his future probably represents very little of interest to the company. Despite this report from the Observer, there remains some speculation that Punk and WWE could perhaps work out a mega-hot angle for the Payback PPV in Punk's hometown of Chicago this June 1st. As long as both sides remain silent, we are always going to wonder just what exactly has gone on.
