CM Punk may have taken a backseat to John Cena and The Rock and Triple H and Brock Lesnar and every other big star who came through WWE over the past six months or so, but now its the company and everyone else taking a back seat to whatever it is he wants to do.
And that may last much longer than anyone originally thought.
According to a report from PWInsider.com, Punk has been removed from all event listings through SummerSlam, which is scheduled for Sun., Aug. 18, 2013. That’s nearly four full months away.
It should be noted, of course, that plans can and often do change on a whim and Punk could be brought back next week if WWE feels it necessary. But according to PW Insider, there are currently no plans creatively to do anything of the sort. As of now, no one knows how or when he’ll be coming back.
For his part, Punk has been living it up since taking this much needed time off. He’s hit every Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) show from Las Vegas, Nevada, to San Jose, California, to Newark, New Jersey. He’s also attending baseball games and even hit up the Iron Man 3 premiere.
His knee and elbow injuries are getting plenty of time to heal and hopefully, when he does return, whenever that may be, he’ll be rested and raring to give it his all once again.
The sooner the better.

I think it is safe to say WWE are learning a lesson. They NEED to push more wrestlers and make them more important to the show. Especially with Cena’s injury and now Punk, who is in a powerful position. WWE may need Punk more than ever now with Cena’s injury.
Anyway, I think the longer Punk is off TV the better. WWE are in need of having a star returning surprisingly to create shock value, or whatever ya wanna call it. It makes a future angle more interesting. For example: WWE can now push the shield and center the show around them. Have them take out all the roster over the next couple of months and eventually have Punk return to ”save WWE”, just like Austin in 2001. Something like that would be cool.

It’s going to be a long couple months of wrestling, but I will be taking a break anyhow so in a way it comes at a perfect time. At the end of the day, WWE will see how great CM Punk is in the coming months as his absence will be noticeable.

It’s going to be a long couple months of wrestling, especially Raw, but I am taking a break anyway so it comes at a good time for me. In the end, WWE will see just how much CM Punk has carried WWE Programming as his absence will be noticeable.

June 16 is WWE Payback in Chicago. I am 99% sure Punk will be back by then. I really don’t expect him to miss that show.
