Catch Him Later: CM Punk Taking Time Away From WWE

This week on Monday Night Raw, CM Punk announced that he would be taking time off from WWE following his victory over Drew McIntyre inside Hell In A Cell at Bad Blood.

Opinion: This feels like something that is taking place due to Punk’s issues with the shows in Saudi Arabia. Punk has made it clear that he does not approve of those shows and his hiatus comes up just as WWE is getting ready for its next Saudi Arabia event.
