10 Reasons CM Punk Left WWE At The Worst Time

6. He Was The Perfect Answer To John Cena

Hulk Hogan had an impressive rogues gallery during his run as WWE's top guy. Paul Orndorff, King Kong Bundy and Ted DiBiase were just three of the antagonists that helped make Hogan look good every time he stepped into the ring. However, Hogan had two foes that stood head and shoulders above the rest; Roddy Piper and Randy Savage. The same could very well be said of John Cena, as he also had two opponents that stood out from the pack; Randy Orton and CM Punk. Orton is still in WWE of course, to be used against Cena whenever the company decides to go that route once again but Punk is now on the outside looking in. While Punk obviously did not exist merely to get Cena over, the fact is that he was needed in WWE, if only as the perfect counter to John's character. With Cena's time as the company's top star coming to an end, there is no way of knowing just how many feuds he could have had with Punk on his way out. If fans need any further reason to believe Punk is missed in the company, they need look no further than events over the past couple of months with The Bella Twins. Nikki and Brie's family feud has taken center stage, mostly because of the inclusion of Stephanie McMahon and that feud has often been the top angle on Raw, even over John Cena. Would that have been the case if Punk was still in the picture?
