Reporters report that Punk is only communicating with those who are his closest friends and has not opened lines of communications with anyone in the company, while F4WOnline.com reports that Vince McMahon and Triple H are not on the same page as to how to handle the situation. Triple H has mixed feelings about Punk returning to the company while McMahon is insistent on bringing back the "Straight Edge Superstar" back into the fold.
On Monday, "#WeWantPunk" became the No.2 biggest trend worldwide on Twitter during Monday Night Raw, where CM Punk signs were confiscated by security and fans claimed they were kicked out for chanting for Punk.
CM Punk spoke with fans at a Q&A at the Portland, OR Comic Con convention prior to the Royal Rumble pay-per-view and was frank about his displeasure with the direction of his role with the company. He was critical of Batista's return, despite being friends, having made similar comments about other stars coming back on a part-time basis such as The Rock and Brock Lesnar. Punk, who was also critical of the WWE possibly signing Sting by saying the WCW icon has "nothing left in the tank", feels the part-time stars have taken main event slots from others who are working on a full-time basis, while also saying that he felt physically beat up and tired of the hectic work schedule.
The WWE creative team is now re-tuning Wrestlemania XXX, though plans had not been set in stone yet, after Punk's departure; Punk was being slated to face Triple H at Wrestlemania XXX. Batista versus Randy Orton may now be tweaked, possibly adding Bryan into the title mix, while another rumor has a potential Batista match against Brock Lesnar - who was slated to face The Undertaker - with Bryan moving into a title match with Orton. Bryan was rumored to be originally facing Sheamus in a rematch from Wrestlemania XXVIII, but could now go up against Kane.
