That's why Punk hasn't appeared again. He returned to Heaven.

Think about if that Rumble came down to Punk and Bryan as the final 2.
Goosebumps man.

There's also not one shred of proof that Punk left because of creative plans either. It has always been reported by the dirtsheets and believed by the gullible, but Punk had been complaining for a long time about his knees. He could easily just have decided it was time for his body to stop. If he had a direction he was excited about and believed in, I bet he'd have stuck around at least through his contract. Definitely injury-related though. I felt bad watching him those last few months, every time he took a bump he looked like he was in so much pain. And he said in that interview how he phoned it in, but I think he was being a tough guy about it and at the same time being modest about his work, which was still good, though not up to his usual level. I gotta say it was a combination, the pain every day and the lack of anything cool to look forward to got to be too much. |

So we're just going to pretend Daniel Bryan having the entire WWE Universe in the palm of his hand had nothing to do with them changing the WrestleMania main event? Is that what we're doing now? This is the same company that still has bald fat Kane in main event angles. Come on now, of course they're that f***ing stupid. |

I think the whole thing was their plan all along(except they replaced Punk in the HHH match by Daniels who got two matches). Remember HHH saying on TV "this is the Reality era". Maybe they made people think they were deciding stuff by their reaction.

Are we supposed to assume WWE was planning Daniel Bryan to end Wrestlemania all the way back from Summerslam because they're geniuses and we're just a bunch of stupid marks? |

I think Bryan in the main event was always the plan, but that all the boys and staff were worked to further the "Bryan being held LD down" narrarive

Never mind Punk, how did that guy manage to keep so much water in his lower eyelids? That's amazing. Talk about that guy. I think he's actively peeing out of his eyes. Fascinating. |

And the booking still fell off a cliff after Mania.

Whoa there, no one in this thread said anything about "stupid marks" before now. Forgive me for implying that Daniel Bryan being over had something to do with Daniel Bryan becoming WWE Champion. Forgive me for doubting your saintlyness, oh Saint Phillip. Oh Second City Saint, oh Patron Saint of Smarks and Workrate. Oh, thank you for bestowing your benevolence upon poor Bryan Danielson and all the WWE Universe. |

And the booking still fell off a cliff after Mania. It bears all the signs of WWE saying "OK, we'll toss the fans a bone and give them their Daniel Bryan/Wrestlemania moment, but after that, it's normal service resumed" |

Weirdly fitting a subject given how much of a martyr Punk's character could be.

It was some combination of Batista getting booed at the Rumble, CM Punk leaving the company, and the YES chants breaking out at major sports games across the country (which was what aborted that godawful Wyatt Family detour). If there was any moment that had WWE paying attention, it was this...  |
