Report: WWE Releases CM Punk

PWInsider.com is reporting that CM Punk may have been released from his WWE contract last week. It says that while this is unconfirmed, this is the belief being held by many within the company.

According to the report, the topic was the backstage chatter during this past weekend’s house shows. It was said that despite him still being listed on the official company website still, he was as good as “done” with the company. He was reportedly released last Friday.

If this is true, it brings the end to a saga that has been raging since Jan. 27, the night after the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Punk walked out on the company just before “Monday Night Raw” and said he was going home. He has not been mentioned on WWE television since the incident, and plans for him to face Triple H at WrestleMania 30 were called off.

Prior to leaving the company, Punk went into detail about his expiring contract. He made note that it was due up in July of this year, and gave no indication as to what he would be doing next. He said he was basically “out the door” when his contract last expired in 2011, but things changed as did his mind.

He has also kept a low-profile since the incident, and hasn’t made any comment. However, he was spotted recently picking up his real-life girlfriend AJ Lee from the airport.
