Top Rumor: What’s going on with CM Punk?
We haven’t seen CM Punk on WWE television dating back to just after WrestleMania 42, and it hasn’t been exactly clear what has led to his absence. Initially, there was talk he was waiting on creative before it was said his schedule simply changed. Now, WrestleVotes has chimed in to say he’s just getting a little bit of time off and it is not true that WWE has no plans for him.
What makes this interesting is there are a ton of unsubstantiated rumors floating around about
Punk, with plenty unwilling to even speak on as much. Thankfully, this here post is a space to talk about all that anyway!
An account on X claiming to have the scoops is saying Punk may have been politicking about the WrestleMania main event and didn’t get his way and is now upset about as much, which has led to some heat backstage. However, he may have also been asked to take a pay cut by TKO and is pissed enough about it to threaten legal action while maybe also asking for his release.
The account did say that there has been some cold water thrown on some of this talk, namely the part where he allegedly asked for his release. We can’t really know what the hell is actually going on but that’s the talk right now.
Stay tuned.
Other rumors floating around
- Per WrestleVotes, WWE is not planning to run a Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes match anytime soon, despite some teases for as much.
- They also say there are no plans for Liv Morgan to defend her title anytime soon, and it may not happen until SummerSlam.
- During a recent conversation with WittyWhittier, R-Truth said he’s not medically cleared right now.
- Vince Russo said on The Coach & Bro Show that Konnan had to have his other leg amputated and WWE has covered all of his medical bills.
