If Punk main events WrestleMania XXX, does he still leave?

[Mike the Executioner]

I was thinking about this earlier because obviously, a lot of things led to Punk leaving in 2014. But knowing how his mind is wired, what bothered him the most was that he didn't get the main event at WrestleMania.

Something tells me that even though his body was fukked up, he would have pushed himself to get through it knowing that he was finally getting what he wanted.

If he got to compete for the title at WrestleMania XXX (replacing Batista in the triple threat), would he have still left the company, maybe on better terms? Or would he have stayed?

No he doesn't leave

No matter "the Undertaker vs Punk being the main event" you read and or hear, had he gotten at least one (vs Rock, Cena, Miz whomever) Last Match of the night at Wrestle Mania he'd stick around a lil longer

 

[Kinguno]

Nah it was D-Bry’s night

 

[Lucky Millionaire]

IMO he'd stay but not for much longer probably a year or two tops

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

He would find something else to be unhappy about. If you still feel slighted after holding the title for an entire year there is no pleasing you

That kind of depends on what you mean by "leave."

If by "leave," you mean "walks out on the company at some point after the Royal Rumble," then he 100% leaves, because main eventing WM at that point wasn't what he wanted.

According to him, he outright told Vince and Hunter than Bryan should be in the main event. What he actually wanted was to get healthy and decompress; I don't think there was anything they could have done to keep him around after the Royal Rumble that year. He was physically and mentally burned out.

I think he comes back if they don't fukk with him the way they did, but not until after at least 9 months or so away. He needed a Jericho 2005-2007 or Big Show 2006-2008 type of break, and I think if he got something like that, WWE wouldn't have lost him, or at least would have kept him longer.

If by leave, you mean "eventually leaves the company altogether," then...probably. Punk's too much of a wrestling fan to just accept some of the bullshyt WWE creative would have given him, or how the company operates period, so he would have left. But maybe not for a little while longer depending on his contract status.

Yeah...I think he was just destined to leave. It just wasn't a good environment for him.

i dont think he cared to main event in 2014 since by that point he just wanted some time off, it was in 2013 that he wanted to main event in a triple threat vs rock and cena

I disagree

Yeah p much this dude was already burnt out by that point, he def would've been done by 2016 at latest

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Punk lives to have a chip on his shoulder. If it wasn’t him leaving over main eventing, it would’ve eventually been something else that pushed him out. Especially with him and HHH already not getting along

Thank you and perfectly well said.

I think people too much run with that “he’s miserable, unhappy, and ungrateful” shyt too much and too hard while COMPLETELY ignoring all the other factor along with that that made him feel some way.

Coli logic with Punk seems to always been “so what you’re injured, you feel like shyt, and people behind the scenes keep trying you and didn’t like you from the beginning, don’t like you no matter what you did. Make US happy by towing the line and eat every scrap you are being thrown”

It’s just crazy to me

He would of left too. The E is just not a good place to work long term wise. Or are we going to pretend it's just one former wrestler that experience that?

 

[Da_Eggman]

I think the main reason was truly his body breaking down

on that podcast with Colt be really made it clear how fukked up his body was

 

[R=G]

He was given alot..beat the Shield by himself.lol..he would find something new to cry about it and fans might of shytted on that main event without Bryan. Bryan was meant to be..not The Rebel
