This could either mean everything or nothing at all: WWE has transitioned CM Punk from the "Superstars" section on WWE.com to the "Alumni" page as of Tuesday night.
You can see an image of the webpage below, with Punk wedged in between Christy Hemme and Crash Holly, per The Fan's Podcast:
Ever since Punk walked out on the company following the 2014 Royal Rumble, fans have been hotly debating whether it was actually legitimate or all a part of a larger storyline that would unfold over the coming weeks or months.
The longer he's been gone, the more real his departure and desire to be away become.
As Mike Mooneyham of The Post and Courier in Charleston, South Carolina, pointed out, Punk's contract is up on July 17, and no apparent movement has been made on a potential return for the former WWE champion.
Mooneyham also dismissed any chance that the return of AJ Lee would signal her husband doing the same.
"WWE sources say that the return of Lee, who was immediately crowned divas champion, is not connected to any similar movement on Punk's part," he wrote.
Moving a wrestler from the active roster page to the "Alumni" section may be a meaningless gesture, or it could also be a sign that WWE has moved no closer to ending Punk's hiatus and given up on him coming back.
You can never say never in wrestling. Plenty of stars have burned bridges with WWE in the past but made their triumphant returns at later dates.
As long as Punk can make money down the road, there will be a place for him in the company, if he ever gets the itch to get back in the ring again.

? ? he tweeted this yesterday!!

His contract expires tomorrow. He also tweeted that he's starting a band and a podcast recently. Of course it means that they've moved on by adding him to the alumni list. That's what alumni means; he's a part of their past. He's moved on they've moved on now wrestling fans should move on.

Means nothing to me.
-
Y'all ? sad?
-
Yeah kinda.....but it is what it is

He's too much of a prissy diva, so nah..
At first, i thought it was all a work, but nope... it's obvious that he's done.. he hasn't spoke on it or acknowledged ? up until that tweet I posted.. Least he owns the right to his ring name.. -
Don't they all eventually come back tho?
-
About 70% of them come back. He will too, even if it's 20 years from now.

He's a crybaby ass ? who who pouted every time he didnt get what he wanted.

Damn and punk was my favorite wrestler too

Fans treated this man like a broad/? breaking their heart but remained in denial until the now ex got married to the new person... Reality must sting. Fortunately, I didn't care too much because I looked at it as if he got sick of coming to work, busting his ass but not getting rewarded ( he barely main evented as champion). Oh well, at least he still has AJ

People really do it to themselves when they hold on to false hope like this.
He's done. Period.
Watch his recent interviews post walk out and read his body language, hear the tone in his voice. He's at peace with his life as it is now and for the first time ever actually looks healthy and well rested.

Once you reach your mid 30's especially you reach a point where happiness and peace is all that matters in life. Especially if you're financially secure by that point. Punk has that in his life now and has been seeking it for years.
-
nh nh but he looks good and healthy nh nh
when he was there, he was looking sick and like a druggie.. -
Cm punk was living that insomnia life
-
That $$$ aint gona last forever
I think he comes bak one day -
i think he'll come back at some point, but i couldn't care less if he never comes back. i never liked him on the indie scene and thought he was only upper midcard material in wwe. he's seamless with promos, but i usually didn't care about ? he said during most of them.
