Report: WWE Using Daniel Bryan Push to Take Shot at CM Punk?, More on How Bryan’s ‘Mania Plans Developed

March 16, 2014

According to PWInsider.com, when CM Punk decided to walk out on WWE following the Rumble, and officials began discussing Daniel Bryan vs Triple H for WrestleMania, the belief by almost eveyone in WWE was that Bryan would not be getting a substantial push even though Punk left.

However, things changed when WWE realized Punk would not be returning to the company, and the feeling is his walk out is the main reason why Bryan is where he is at this point.

People in WWE went from being patient with Punk's departure and silent on the matter, to adopting the attitude of "how dare Punk not return to WWE for WrestleMania."

It's also being implied that the "Yes movement" angle done on Raw this past Monday night, and some of the syntax used during the segment, was a "middle finger" to Punk, to send the message "this could have been you and now it's not."

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.
