His first WWE match

On October 26, 2006, Punk had his first WWE match on the SmackDown brand, defeating Justin Credible. The following week, Punk defeated Shelton Benjamin to qualify for a spot in the 2006 Survivor Series match. At the event, he was one of five men (the others being Matt Hardy, Rey Mysterio, Bobby Lashley and Finlay) who survived a Survivor Series elimination match against Mr. Kennedy’s team. Shortly afterwards, Punk entered a storyline where he was revealed as the mysterious Anonymous Raw General Manager (GM), who made decisions via laptop computer

His WWE Championship reign

CM Punk’s first WWE Championship reign began on November 20, 2008, at WWE Survivor Series, when he defeated World Heavyweight Champion Edge to unify the titles. The unification made Punk the 19th WWE Champion and the last to hold both the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships simultaneously. The following night on Raw, Punk dropped the World Heavyweight Championship and became only the WWE Champion. On December 13 at Armageddon, Punk successfully defended the title against Jeff Hardy. On January 25, 2009, at the Royal Rumble, Punk won a Battle Royal to earn a shot at either the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship later that night; he chose to face World Heavyweight Champion John Cena. Despite interference from Kane, who was revealed as Cena’s mystery partner earlier in the night, Cena defeated Punk to retain his title.

Cm Punk After WWE

In 2014, CM Punk left WWE suddenly, and many fans were left wondering what happened. Punk had been with WWE for a long time, and was one of the top stars in the company. Some people believe that Punk left WWE because he was frustrated with the creative direction of the company. Others believe that Punk left because he was injured and wanted to take a break from wrestling.

His UFC career

CM Punk’s MMA career began in mixed martial arts (MMA), where he trained with Duke Roufus at the Roufusport MMA Academy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In late 2014, it was announced that Punk had signed a multi-fight contract with the UFC. His entry into MMA was met with criticism from wrestlers and mixed martial artists alike, as many felt that he had not earned his place in the UFC through prior accomplishments in MMA.

His current wrestling career

Since leaving WWE, Cm Punk has made a few sporadic wrestling appearances. In 2014, he wrestled at a small independent show in Chicago. The following year, he made an appearance at an indie show in Florida, where he had a verbal confrontation with NXT star Samoa Joe.

In 2016, Punk made his return to the ring at a Midwest independent show. He also had a short-lived stint in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), where he fought twice for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). However, Punk was released from the organization after suffering consecutive losses.

Punk currently works as an analyst and commentator for the MMA promotion Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC). He also has a deal with Endeavor Audio to produce and star in his own wrestling podcast called “CM Punk: Best in the World”.

Theories on What Happened to Cm Punk in WWE

Cm Punk walked out of WWE in early/mid 2014 and has not been seen since. There are several theories as to what happened, ranging from him being disgruntled with WWE creative to him being offered a role in a major Hollywood movie. Let’s take a look at the most likely theories.

He was burned out

CM Punk’s WWE career effectively came to an end in early 2014 when he walked out on the company after a contract dispute. Since then, Punk has revealed very little about what happened behind the scenes to cause him to leave WWE, but there have been many theories about what happened.

One popular theory is that Punk was simply burned out on wrestling and needed a break. This is certainly possible, as Punk had been wrestling for nearly 20 years by the time he left WWE. Punk had also been working a grueling schedule for several years, often wrestling more than 200 days per year. It’s possible that Punk simply reached a point where he was no longer able to physically or mentally continue wrestling at such a high level.

Another theory is that Punk was unhappy with his position in WWE and felt he was not being used properly. This is also possible, as Punk had been involved in some controversial storylines in the months before he left WWE. It’s possible that Punk felt he was not being treated fairly by WWE management and decided to leave as a result.

Whatever the reason, CM Punk’s departure from WWE was a huge blow to the company. Punk was one of the biggest stars in WWE at the time and his loss was felt by many fans. While Punk has since moved on to other things, many fans continue to wonder what could have been if he had stayed in WWE.

He was never given a fair chance

Cm Punk was never given a fair chance in WWE. He was never booked as a main eventer, despite being one of the most popular stars in the company. He was always relegated to the midcard, and it wasn’t until he won the Money in the Bank contract that he was finally given a chance to main event. However, even then, he was never given a proper push and was always overshadowed by John Cena.

He was mistreated by WWE management

It’s no secret that Cm Punk was one of the most popular wrestlers in WWE during his time with the company. He was a five-time WWE Champion and holds the record for the longest reign as WWE Champion in modern history ( 434 days). Punk was also a two-time World Heavyweight Champion and a one-time Intercontinental Champion. In addition to his in-ring accomplishments, Punk was also a incredibly popular merchandise seller for WWE.

However, despite all of his success in WWE, Punk left the company in early 2014 under very acrimonious circumstances. Punk has been outspoken about how he was mistreated by WWE management during his time with the company, specifically citing issues with medical treatment, creative direction, and overall respect.
