CM Punk has been away from WWE for an awfully long time now. In January 2014, "The Straight Edge Superstar" finally decided he'd had enough of the booking and the clout at WWE and turned his back on professional wrestling.

Punk's last ever professional wrestling match came the night before he famously walked out on Vince McMahon and co, and it was actually a Royal Rumble. The 2014 Royal Rumble that Batista won and began the road to Daniel Bryan's crowning WrestleMania moment.

The fact that Batista had won that match was one of the things that contributed to Punk's departure. The fans were crying out for a Bryan win and who knows, without The Second City Saint walking out we may never have gotten Daniel in the main event of WrestleMania XXX two months later.
