Not For Him: Update On CM Punk's WWE Status, Expected To Miss Major Show

It’s not for him. There are a variety of shows throughout WWE’s annual calendar and some of them stand out in certain ways. Unfortunately some of those ways are less than positive, as a certain series of shows do not have the best reputation. One of those is coming up in less than a month and now we know that one major Superstar is not expected to be taking part in the show.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: #1: Inaugural WWE Champion Crowned This Week

On November 2, WWE will be returning to Saudi Arabia for its annual Crown Jewel event. According to Fightful Select by way of Wrestlingnews.co, CM Punk is not expected to wrestle at the show. Punk has been openly opposed to WWE’s shows in Saudi Arabia for years, dating back to before he returned to the company. Earlier this week on Monday Night Raw, Punk said that he was taking some time away from WWE. There is no word on when he will be returning to WWE TV.

Opinion: This is hardly a big surprise and that isn’t a bad thing. Punk clearly does not approve of the show in the slightest and does not want to be involved. There is nothing wrong with having Punk sit it out, as he even has a storyline reason for not being around. Punk can come back later on and be just fine, especially after a bit of time off to recharge the batteries.
