recent examples of immaturity in the WWE lockeroom:
- Charlotte chucking the belt on the floor
-Brock throwing the title belt at Vince in anger
-Matt Riddle. Just Matt Riddle.
- Sasha and Naomi walking out of the company was treated by the company as them being immature and letting the fans down

There are many other examples. It has been a lot quieter since HHH took over though, I will not take away from it there. I just wish people were not so disingenuous when talking about WWE's lockeroom. A honeymoon period during a boom doesn't mean it was always so and always will be so.

Full story over at Fightful Select

-SRS says the news of WWE and CM Punk in talks is “completely false” and internally there are no talks about a comeback

-His sources went on record so fans don’t get their hopes up at Survivor Series

-One WWE talent said that most references on television recently are “not cleared beforehand” and may even be just digs at Punk

-“Things can change”

I wouldn’t call the references “digs” at Punk.

I think Hunter and his team have a presence on the internet more than the old man and they’re working the fans.

Dangerous game to tease it and not follow through with it though. They could do zero teases and truly act like he's not coming back and the fans alone will build the buzz and then only have themselves to blame if he doesn't come back.

I’ll say all the teasing and he doesn’t show up at Survivor Series is going to end badly. Even if he’s not under contract, I’d probably bring him in for a one shot just so the crowd doesn’t shit on my show
