In an interview with Colt Cabana on the Art of Wrestling podcast, CM Punk revealed what transpired on his wedding day. He talked about the way WWE used him, his injuries, and a lot more.
One of the most interesting stories he shared was about his departure from WWE. As per rumors, it was known that CM Punk quit the company, but he opened up about his side of the story and revealed the procedure of how he was fired.
Punk explained he was let go by WWE in a blink of an eye. On his wedding day, Punk received a FedEx in his mail informing him about his firing. But he didn’t let any of it affect his special day.
Punk revealed that the letter he received from WWE was “ridiculous.” The former WWE Champion explained that the letter stated his WWE contract was terminated, and he had to forfeit all his royalty rights:
It must be noted that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, on Stone Cold Steve Austin’s podcast, accepted that CM Punk was fired on his wedding day. McMahon also apologized during the podcast and said that Punk getting his termination papers on the day of his wedding was an unfortunate coincidence.
CM Punk made his return after seven years
Following his departure from WWE, CM Punk took seven years off from in-ring competition. The former WWE Champion even jumped ship to compete in the UFC but lost both of his fights in the promotion.
Punk eventually made his return earlier this year when he signed with All Elite Wrestling and is now an integral part of their roster.
