The bottom line is this:
The chants aren't going away
....ever.
He has the most loyal fanbase there is, the same kind of fans Austin had. There's a reason for that.
They would do anything for him because he busted his ass to make the show entertaining for them where as most of the guys are just robots.
Whether WWE or anybody else likes it, whether it's wrong or right, they're not going to win this one... because they're assholes to their die hard fans. It doesn't matter if there is other fans... the die hard fans are the one's WWE made promises to & then broke. They're the fans WWE trained & brainwashed to have an "attitude" tell people to "suck it" as little kids & flip them the bird.... they can't complain when it comes back to bite them. Not to mention in this case, they deserve it.
I certainly think he will be back at some point, if somebody like Bret Hart came back, it's just the nature of the business and when he does you'll look back at those chants as being more relevant than ever and as the fans never forgetting him & when he does comes back the chants will be louder than ever.
The chants aren't going to stop, ever & Punk knew that when he left, which is why he didn't need to stay & put up with their corporate, politics bullshit. You're allowed to change professions if you're unhappy.
WWE can claim this is about ruining it for the other wrestlers all day long but if you have half a brain you know it has nothing to do with that, it's because of their own selfishness & they just don't like hearing "CM Punk"
Too fucking bad.
They want to prove that they don't need him & that he needs them. I would rather prove them wrong because whether you like Punk or not it does help change the attitude of the business for the better. It means people aren't slaves to WWE... employee's aren't slaves.
If people are chanting for somebody who's not in the ring then that's who they want to see, not the guy in the ring... you can't tell people how to feel. Regardless of it's a question of who's over or if the fans are just mad, WWE is the one who built the company that way & they can get over it... people don't want Roman Reigns, they want CM Punk.
Cry about it more HHH why don't ya lol ....& while you're at it go try to tell The Rock he can't call CM Punk on the phone during RAW again.... I'm not going to back HHH, McMahon & WWE when they are WAY bigger children then the children they're complaining about.
