10 Reasons CM Punk Left WWE At The Worst Time

2. He Was Still In A Prime Spot

This is perhaps the most puzzling aspect of CM Punk's departure from WWE. The fact is that Punk was still a featured star, a respected performer in every sense of the word. He may not have been very happy with the idea of facing Triple H once again on pay-per-view but the truth is that should not have been an issue. Hunter is a legend in the company, one of the top stars of all time and working, then perhaps losing to Punk would have helped The Second City Saint to get back to that main event status. While it's not guaranteed that Hunter would have done the job, the truth is that Punk almost certainly would not have agreed to it otherwise had he stayed. The fans wanted Punk, they believed in him and they had supported him from day one. Every time he was on TV, they reacted and every time he spoke, it was like he was speaking to them. They accepted him for who he was and they wanted him even when WWE did not. He was the real deal in every way. To fans, CM Punk was still a top guy and he was still the man capable of bringing them to their feet every time he was in the ring and on the mic. Despite not being in the WWE title hunt when he left, Punk was a Superstar that could have been reinserted in that spot at any time. The time to leave the company is when there is no plan in place, and no commitment to doing anything positive; Punk was not in that position when he walked out.
