Some news coming out of the Power To The People RAW today was the fact that CM Punk is intending on leaving the WWE. This is no surprise to me. There has been talk of him leaving for quite some time. He's apparently not been happy with his standing with WWE for a while. He's been upset that people like Alberto Del Rio and Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin have been pushed while he has been stuck in what I call a rut for some time. He's also apparently been burned out by being on the road for 5 years and still being one of the company's most reliable performers and he feels that he should be in more main events. There was speculation that the draft of Beth Phoenix, Punk's girlfriend who he has been in a serious relationship for close to a year (I think), was to make him happy and hopefully to get him to stick around longer.
At the time of the draft he hadn't signed a new contract and after his words today, I don't know what to think.
Today at RAW, Punk won a #1 Contender triple threat match against Rey Mysterio and Alberto for the right to challenge for the WWE Championship, currently being held by John Cena (who else.......).
Punk said that at the upcoming pay-per-view 'Money In The Bank' he will become champion and he will walk away from the WWE with the title because that day is the last day of his contract with WWE.
As I said, I don't know what to think of this situation. I don't mind Punk. He is a great performer and has been one of the WWE's best for a while. I don't personally think that he is a great champion (mind you, I don't think that of Cena either) but I......I honestly don't know. It could go either way. It'd be sad to see him go, but at the same time, he has gone in and beaten some of the best in the business. He has won numerous titles. If he went out without the title, he would be going out knowing that he has in fact been one of the best for a while.
This what he wrote on his Twitter account regarding his status....
"I knew I was gone at the beginning of the year. I just woke up one day and I knew. That's the way I work a lot of the time."
"I think it's creepy too, but it's really helpful. I knew I'd be history by July. Come say goodbye on July 17th."
"Come say goodbye on July 17th. I promise to go out with a bang. Trust me. XxX"

I really don't know what to think. Only time will tell......
Until next time,
You know you love me xoxo
