"No, any conversation I had with CM Punk are dating back - even when he was still in WWE and he was dreaming of getting involved in mixed martial arts - is that he was viewing a switch over of careers from becoming a sports entertainer to becoming a full time career oriented mixed martial artist."

Presumably that means the outcome of his first match won't impact future bookings: as long as he's welcome, he's looking to make a name and a career for himself as a mixed martial artist. Will that stop rumours of a WWE return? Will it hell.
