10 Times CM Punk Disrespected WWE

2. Walking Out

It doesn’t really get much more disrespectful than walking out on the company. Such a move would be mightily insolent at any time of the year, but doing so as it enters its most important creative - not to mention business - period of the year? CM Punk’s decision to abandon the WWE ship after the 2014 Royal Rumble was a move that couldn’t have come at a worse time for the promotion.

CM Punk’s decision to walk out on WWE at the beginning of 2014 was not a move taken lightly. In fact, you can argue that few things Punk did under the corporate wrestling banner were done in a thoughtless manner. Punk did what he did for his own health (mental and physical) and such a move should be commended, always.

That doesn’t make it any less disrespectful. It is important to note that showing a company of WWE’s reputation disrespect shouldn’t be assumed to be a bad thing, and sticking two fingers up to a billion-dollar machine take guts and lots of them. Nobody has ever done it better than CM Punk. The Best in the World, indeed.
