After Punk’s very public and specific announcement of his intentions to leave the esteemed company, Good Ol’ JR took to the blogosphere for his take on it.
“Big news out of MNR is that CM Punk is apparently leaving WWE after his MITB PPV main event in July in his hometown of Chicago with John Cena for the WWE Title. This quickly has become the talk of the business as Punk is arguably the best antagonist in the ring right now as his work Monday night in Baltimore indicated. Who knows what’s going to happen in Chicago? I certainly don’t. Would a Punk win change MANY things within WWE? Absolutely. Could Punk become a ‘lame duck’ WWE Champion? With question. Would John Cena have to carry the burden of being the guy who lost the WWE Title to a man who has nothing to lose and has publicly stated that he’s leaving WWE? Yes sir. Is Punk leaving the WWE forever? I don’t know as only @cmpunk can answer that one.”
From there, he guesses that we might be in for a ride in the next few weeks leading up to the pay-per-view. He also goes on to discuss–for what may feel to him like the millionth time–his take on the PG era, as well as how the new kids are being trained and introduced.
