While CM Punk was horrendous in his UFC debut, his capacities in the kayfabe world can't be undermined. He is the person that characterized the PG Era, with honors, similar to the longest reigning WWE Champion of present day times in his stockpile; nobody could go up against this whiney little person.
The aura that Phil Brooks carried hypnotized fans over the whole WWE Universe. Serenades of his names could be heard even after he was a distant memory. In spite of every one of his endeavors to sell the product, The Proponent of 'Straight edge standards', Punk, was never really valued by the WWE.
Punk, being a victim of backstage political issues, was denied a quite merited Wrestlemania main event spot, after a seemingly endless amount of time, even subsequent to being the big dog of WWE After each one of those years of under appreciation, Punk still stuck around, with his protestations and contradiction failing to attract anyone's attention.
The stage was set for him to quit, and with WWE as yet overlooking his steady pleas. Phil Brooks at long last chose to hang his boots. He didn't show up on the 27th June 2014, episode of RAW and made it clear that he wanted to resign and denied the new contract WWE offered him.
While WWE composed step by step composed Punk out of their storylines, they kept on receiving rewards from his stock deal.
