CM Punk: 5 Reasons He Won't Be Back For WrestleMania 30
2. No Communication
From Punks own mouth, the relationship between him and Vince is not only good, its very open. They exchange texts during bouts of insomnia, and let opinions and ideas flow freely. This was confirmed by Ariel Helwani when he interviewed the Second City Saint back in late January. While many Punk fans will see this as a good thing, what they should also notice is that neither side has reached any kind of an agreement. Yet. This is a bad sign. For Punk to have an open line to Vince, and there still not be a deal finalized means the two sides are further apart than most believe. Beyond this, Punk has been radio silent ever since the Royal Rumble. He hasnt sent a tweet since late January, when he signed off with a cryptic, Thanks for all the support. Keep being you guys, its pretty cool. Since then, nothing. The WWE hasnt exactly been forthcoming with information either. All theyve done is managed to confirm that he is indeed still under contract. Vince was only willing to say Punk was on a sabbatical. Officially, the company is taking a very hard line on not saying much at all. This may drive speculation, but in reality, its simply a strategy moving forward. If there have been talks between the two parties, the public is in the dark about them. Its okay to think there have been negotiationsperhaps there havebut without anything of substance, its more plausible nothing of value has come from any talk. If there was one in the first place. But the WWE isnt waiting around, and that much is evident. They are erasing Punk from programming, and its the worst sign of all.
