CM Punk is away from WWE programming for more than five years now despite which fans chant his name whenever they find something irrelevant.
It was back at Royal Rumble 2014 that he decided to quit the company as his body was beaten up from a rigorous schedule. But WWE was forcing him to perform that could have been life-threatening as per his claim.

It contained the marquee matches from the show including his own where he was supposed to compete against Triple H. As for the main-eventer, Daniel Bryan, he was about to go up against Sheamus in a rematch from WrestleMania 28.

CM Punk has recently been back on FOX discussing WWE programming on a frequent basis. There’ve been constant speculations whether WWE could eventually bring him back or not. Triple H noted on SI Media Podcast saying the doors are still open for discussion,
“Look, I’ve read about that as well and to be clear, Fox is doing this show and it’s their show and it’s something that they’re doing to talk about the WWE Universe and everything going on it. They have a long list of people that they’ve been interviewing, but as far for us, one of the things this company has shown over and over again is ‘never say never.'”
