CM Punk is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling(AEW). Following a legendary career at WWE, he parted ways with the company on a bitter note and that has not mended yet. During his run in the company, he had a 434-day reign as WWE Champion that stands as the sixth-longest in title history. It was not before seven years that he made his return to pro-wrestling. It was also recently noted how CM Punk fans had invade WWE Smackdown.
CM Punk and WWE’s animosity continues
It has been seven years since CM Punk’s release but WWE still holds the same hatred towards him. WWE recently wrote the likelihood of released WWE stars who will be appearing in the upcoming WWE 2K22 video game. On that same note, it was said CM Punk will never be featured in a WWE video game again.
Brian Mazique of Forbes noted that the company management hates him. He further reported that a special Tony Khan edition of a WWE 2K title is more likely than Punk ever being in another WWE video game. That is the extent of animosity WWE has got for Punk.
It would have to be the sort of discord that is had between CM Punk and the WWE, whom I’m told by someone with strong connections to the situation, will almost never be in a WWE game. One source said, the powers that be “hate him.”
This is quite supportive of the reports prior to Punk’s return to professional wrestling in August 2021. The August report stated that WWE management have unhappy memories of working with the former world champion. Despite their hatred though, WWE still tried to re-sign Punk back in December 2020. The company reached out to him through intermediaries. Punk did listen to WWE’s offer but the return did not happen. Punk didn’t like the fact that WWE started playing games with him. The deal between the two parties never went through.
