All is still well between one of the top stars in the industry and a company he once had major problems with.

The rumor mill got to churning over the past couple of days, and CM Punk was at the center of it. Depending on who or what you’re willing to believe, one of the biggest stars in the industry may have been politicking, disgruntled, asked to take a pay cut, and even demanded his release from the company.
None of it is true, according to PW Insider.
The report notes that a “trusted source” within the company told them as much and beyond that “there is new merchandise being put together and Punk appearances are set for this summer.“ It is not specified when this summer he will be returning, or what kind of appearances those will be.
Punk was running hard over the past year, being asked to do quite a bit as world heavyweight champion en route to the main event of WrestleMania 42 and a title match with Roman Reigns. He was the best thing on that show, on both nights, and after making another appearance on the April 20 episode of Monday Night Raw, he took some time off.
He’s since gotten absolutely jacked, and is obviously using his time off wisely. Thankfully, there’s nothing to the talk of his demise and the relationship with WWE is alive and well.
