If Punk is to be believed in his vow to never return, the biggest factor has got be the happiness he's found in recent months. Take a look at some of his twitter pictures, the guy looks five years younger. He's doing things he loves like attending comic con. He's got married and settled into Chicago life. This Rip Rogers tweet he reposted on August 5th is telling, "The most important thing in life is ur health !!! Lose it and nothing else matters !!!" The happiness that Punk has managed to find away from the physical strain of wrestling is better than any WrestleMania main event ever could be. From his point of view right now, his contentment is strong enough to keep him away from wrestling for the rest of his life. When his contract expired in July, Punk responded with a tweet and made clear just how happy he was. Three words of the tweet particularly stood out, "happiness above all." There's life after WWE, CM Punk has found it, he's enjoying it. Let's now see if he manages to stick to his vow never to lace up a pair of boots ever again.
