As we reported on earlier here on the website, CM Punk had a major blow-out backstage with Vince McMahon to the point where Punk had threatened to quit. New details have emerged in regards to this matter. According to WWE sources, CM Punk was upset about constantly being lied too about his match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 29. Although Punk didn’t understand the logic of going under, he was fine with it. Conversely, he was told up until the event that the creative plans were still up in the air.

When Punk found out the outcome all along was for The Undertaker to go over and extend the streak to 21-0, Punk was irate and felt that Vince McMahon and Triple H were betraying him by lying to him. This ultimately led to Punk stating that the company can eat the remainder of his contract and that he was finished. This obviously caught Vince McMahon’s attention, and he finally decided to sit down with Punk to iron things out. After repeatedly asking Vince why he had to threaten to quit the company to finally get attention, it’s being said that Punk went all out and vented frustrations about guys like Daniel Bryan, Antonio Cesaro and Kofi Kingston working hard while the company is too busy with ‘hot shot booking’ and storylines to please their own egos.

During the sit down between Punk and McMahon, things took yet another turn for the worse when Punk requested time off to heal up. Although Vince tried to talk Punk into staying around a bit longer for his next program, in the end it was agreed upon that Punk would take some time off to heal up.

In correlation to this matter, there was a conference call a few weeks ago between Punk, Vince McMahon, Paul Heyman and the writers to further discuss Punk’s future, where numerous ideas were pitched. It’s also said the ideas pitched ultimately hinge on Punk’s health and Vince’s desire. Whether or not they choose to go with any of the ideas remain to be seen as plans can and most likely will change numerous times between now and Punk’s expected return.

Hmm. Could this be why Cesaro was booked shoddely recently. Vince cannot take it out on Punk but he can on Cesaro.
This does sound incredibly fishy though. Not sure how legit this is.

Also, Punk thought he was going over? :dawg:

It seems more he was fine with jobbing but rather than just saying you'll job they kept on saying he might win but he might not. I doubt this is true however, punk is a dock though so it has some air of plausibility to it.

Hasn't Ryan Clark written flimsy reports before? Or maybe I'm thinking of Richard Gray from Wrestling News World...

Anyway, I can buy Punk standing up for guys like Kofi and Bryan and Caesro, but I don't buy that he believed for a second that he was gonna end the streak. If Punk is half as intelligent as he likes to make himself out to be, he should have known that ending the big streak was never in the plans and if he had heard that anywhere, he should have laughed it off. He was one reported to be having issues with creative with the build and it was clear that it was anything but a lead in to Taker's streak coming to an end.

I agree. Never once did Punk the play the feud as if his character was going to win. Even in interviews he said that a match with Taker wasn't his preferred match at WM. Why would he say that if he believed he might end the streak?

Then what does Punk have to be pissed about at all? He was pissed about creative not being able to make up their minds on the finish of the match (supposedly) that he was thinking about walking, even though he was fine with either outcome anyway?

I suppose it's a respect thing, they should have just come out and told him. If this is true then it could just be Punk being a dick (very likely imo)

I personally think this is a load of crap. Whilst it is plausible that Punk would be annoyed at the lack of respect, by being lied to, I don't think for one second he would kick this much fuss up about it. Why would he? Especially threaten to quit, when last minute bookings/changes are the norm in WWE. I've yet to find one accurate unique report from this site, and I'm sure it's just bullshit.

This entire thing is bullshit. For starters Punk was never penciled in to break the streak. He/WWE/Taker all knew from the jump he was laying on his back to end that match. #2 we had all known for weeks/months beforehand that Punk was bailing after Mania... but it took WWE by surprise? Bullshit.

Vince randomly punishing others because Punk needs time off? The biggest bullshit aspect of this entire story. Whoever wrote this article should be put to death by fire.

Also do you think ANY of the dirtsheet writers have ever taken a basic journalism/writing course? Shits look like a 5th grader wrote it every single time.
