And it's not his time. I know that. That's why he's not getting the titles.not to defend Emperor, but Punk did give reasons as to why he left. He said he didn't like the direction with DB. He didn't like their planning with his storyline. and he said that WWE does too many things last minute. No planning. He said he would run things differently. Punk is good friends with Batista but when commenting on it, he noted that he felt it wasn't batista's time right now.
