Since CM Punk walked out on WWE after the Royal Rumble there has been many questions as to why he left. There have been numerous reports citing reasons as to why people believed he left but there hasn’t been anything from Punk or WWE that truly pinpointed the reason. WWE Superstars have even been left in the dark, only able to guess and offer opinions as to why he left. Well, that is until now. According to Power Slam Magazine, a source close to Punk revealed to them the real reason why he left. The source had the following to say about Punk’s departure: Worn down by the match schedule, CM Punk was not satisfied with his in ring performances and felt his fans weren’t seeing his best. Meanwhile, the bumps had caught up with him, he was said to be in great pain each time he used the Randy Savage elbow drop. Outside the ring he was tired of butting heads with management backstage and had been disheartened by for some time with the knowledge that he would never be pushed as WWE’s top man, no matter how good his promos and matches were because he doesn’t fit the prototypical WWE wrestler profile. It is possible that Punk would have been willing to endure the fatigue and the pain and the stress had he believed a breakthrough was feasible. However it was the realization that his career had peaked in 2012 which sapped Punk of his drive and drove him to the exit. Punk is keenly aware his value to WWE increases the longer he remains on the sidelines. Punk had been scheduled to face Triple H at WrestleMania XXX. Some of the stuff in there doesn’t really come as a surprise. Everyone has speculated that Punk was unhappy with his character and his impending match at WrestleMania XXX against Triple H. The interesting thing is the fact that despite all of that it would seem the injuries were the larger factor. The fact that he was in constant pain and felt that the quality of his in-ring work was below par is an insight that really hasn’t been put out there before. The one thing that rings true more than anything else though is the fact that Punk’s value is without question on the rise the longer that he is gone. Punk has always been known as a smart business man and for him to apparently be fully aware of that only further proves his business savvy. Nobody knows for sure if we will ever see Punk in WWE again but at least now we have a better idea as to why he really left. wrestlingnewsdepot/2014/03/wwe-news-the-reason-why-cm-punk-left-wwe-revealed/
