#6 CM Punk’s Booking

There is no doubt that Punk should have been in the main event of WrestleMania 29 instead of another ‘Once in a Lifetime’ Rock vs John Cena match. He was a red-hot commodity at the peak of his career. But, backstage politics prevented it from being so. Then, Punk was stuck in limbo in back to back meaningless storylines which ultimately led to his departure from the company.

Vince McMahon never understood why people liked Punk. As Vince is set in his ways, this resulted in a certain lack in Punk's push as compared to other top guys. He was forced to put over superstars like Roman Reigns. Makes you wonder how long the Reigns experiment has been going on, huh?

There was no way Vince McMahon could have forced Punk to stay after Wrestlemania 29 and when he lost the Royal Rumble, he angrily left. The afterburns of delivering his termination notice on his wedding day just destroyed his chances of returning to the company.
