During interviews since his departure from WWE in 2014, Phil 'CM Punk' Brooks has said time and time again that he's not interested in working for the promotion ever again. Clearly, fans were dubious of these words, because they've been uttered before by people who eventually made their merry way back to work for Vince McMahon, but Punk maintains that he means them. Brooks was never really the ideal fit for WWE, because he represented everything that went against the grain. Far from being a typical 'WWE Superstar', the guy had to punch upwards mightily in order to make a name for himself, and it was definitely a case of someone doing everything in their power against a system which didn't really work in harmony with them. Put it this way, if John Cena is the poster boy for WWE, Punk was the guy ripping those posters down, and he probably wouldn't have had it any other way. There are mitigating circumstances surrounding Punk's decision to leave WWE, and it's fair to say the company don't deserve all the blame, but working so tirelessly for the promotion for so many years has served to leave a bitter taste in the mouth of Phil Brooks.
