But could it be NBC? Jericho appeared on ABC, NBC did not like it. To see Punk on FOX, I'm sure NBC don't like it.

As noted earlier, Vince McMahon reportedly pulled WWE Champion CM Punk from escorting Chael Sonnen to the Octagon at UFC's January 28th show on FOX from Chicago. Apparently Punk was also told that he shouldn't even be in attendance at the show. Punk was told at Monday's RAW and one source close to the situation described it as Vince just being in one of his moods.
Sonnen reportedly got it cleared with UFC and Punk had it cleared with WWE but when it became a news story, WWE changed their minds.
UPDATE.

Like you would see Punk during the walkout anyways, the UFC doesn't have camera angles to show the camp.

Ruined the surprise, and Vince hates that.

Chael Sonnen Denies CM Punk Reports
UFC fighter Chael Sonnen tells MMAWeekly.com that WWE Champion CM Punk was never confirmed to escort him to the octagon for the UFC on FOX. That fight takes place the night before WWE Royal Rumble and will be in CM Punk's hometown of Chicago. Despite Punk telling MMA Weekly last week that Vince McMahon had pulled him from the appearance, Sonnen said last night:

"I gotta tell you. I read those headlines. I never confirmed them. CM Punk never confirmed them. I'll speak for myself - I'm not in the business of stopping a headline, but I never confirmed that anybody would be joining me. I know he didn't confirm it."
