Cm Punk is gone from the WWE forever, it seems. The final curtain looks to have fallen, and the indie darling who won the hearts of millions with his unique brand of wrestling looks to have called time on proceedings. Six months on from his final appearance on WWE television – a rather underwhelming exit via the hands of Kane at the Royal Rumble – there has been no sign of Chicago’s finest on our TV screens.
The millions who initially felt it was all a clever work from the WWE – ala his mesmerising storyline with Vince McMahon back in 2011 – have conceded defeat. Punk is gone, and the witty promos and technical superiority that endeared himself to an army of fans have gone too. But the way he left was so breathtakingly unique that it ultimately left more questions than answers.
For example, what were his reasons behind simply...

Cm Punk is likely gone from wrestling forever. In leaving wrestling in the way that he left wrestling – as well in the how and why of his motivations to be in professional wrestling – it’s a sign of major sea change coming to WWE, and to the wrestling business in general.
Since being eliminated by Kane at the 2014 Royal Rumble, Cm Punk has not appeared on WWE television. As well, since April 7, 2014, Aj Lee – Punk’s real-life fiancee – has not appeared in the company since dropping the Divas championship to Paige. Also, on May 8, 2014, Punk’s ex-girlfriend and current confidant Natalie Slater (of vegan baking company Bake and Destroy fame) stated in a bittersweet and angst-ridden column about the price of fame that Punk was “retired.”
In leaving WWE, Punk did so in a manner that has never been done before by a performer at his level of renown in the wrestling industry.

Former WWE Champion Cm Punk lives in fear of “being stabbed” after fans began camping outside his Chicago home, according to an essay written by one of his former girlfriends.
Cult vegan chef Natalie Slater dated Punk back in High School and since then has remained one of his very closest friends. In a piece she penned for Redeye Slater she described Punk as “retired” and discussed why she believes it is his own fame that has resulted in him walking away from the business.
According to the article titled: ‘My Friend is Famous and it Sucks’ Punk’s time as a top WWE Superstar has resulted in him becoming more famous than he could have ever imagined and as such resulted in him becoming something of a recluse. Slater states that she has concerns for her friend as he rarely leaves his home since calling it a...
