latest news about CM punk
With burned bridges behind him and a hostile new home ahead of him, CM Punk treks on.
Traces of Punk continue to fade from WWE. The company continues the process of wiping away his name and likeness.
Meanwhile, the UFC hopes that the fame Punk gained as a pro wrestler nets the organization increased viewership and added pay-pay-views. Even with more money likelname keeps growing.
The trash-taly to flow into the sport, though, the list of fighters snarling at the sound of his king directed at him grows louder, but Punk is set to go into a hibernation of sorts.
After his departure from WWE, Punk said nothing for a long time. That silence bred speculation and anticipation. Following his now-famous interview with Colt Cabana and signing with UFC, Punk was seemingly everywhere talking about his new venture and reflecting on his past in the ring.
Now that his UFC media blitz is over, expect Punk to go radio silent again. He has training to do as he tries to morph from a showman to a striker.

The WWE will be equally quiet when it comes to the former world champ, even to the point of tearing him out of pre-existing products.
WWE ring as he and that company now feel like two divorced parents living separate lives.
That split apparently also includes WWE removing Punk from past publications. According to PWInsider Elite (subscription required, h/t WrestlingInc.com) WWE instructed the comic company Paper Cutzto remove Punk from future reprints of WWE graphic novels.
Royalties are likely to blame for this. Why else would WWE go to all the trouble of redoing old comics?
The same goes for WWE clearing Punk out of its online catalog.
As Raj Giri notes on WrestlingInc.com, Punk merchandise is no longer available on WWEShop.com. Searches for the former WWE champ come up empty.
With Punk gone, WWE has also felt the need to take thinly veiled shots at him. The most recent of these came on SmackDown on Jan. 22. Dolph Ziggler certainly seemed to be referencing Punk when he talked about not wanting to whine on a podcast.
