BREAKING: CM Punk Pulled From Several WWE Shows
CM Punk might not return to WWE for a while.
CM Punk then appeared on the RAW after WrestleMania, where he had a confrontation with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Since then, he has been missing from WWE TV, which has led fans to speculate about his absence.
People have been guessing why Punk might be absent from WWE. Some believe he might have taken some time off after a hectic schedule. Others believe WWE may not have immediate plans for CM Punk, which is why he has been given some time off to refresh himself.
There is no official confirmation regarding his absence from television, and it looks like his time away might continue for a while.

While Punk has been absent from WWE TV for a while, he appeared on the Nightcap podcast following his world title loss at WrestleMania. During the interview, he revealed the origin of his ring name and also shared one of the biggest fears of his WWE career.
Punk feared that he would be forced to relinquish his ring name “CM Punk” (which had a lot of sentiment attached to it) and use a new ring name when he joined the indies and later WWE.
