CM Punk has been avoiding Twitter for over a week as his wife AJ Lee is set to get further involved in the Bella sisters feud on Monday night.
Punk has been a frequent Twitter user for some time, especially after he retired from the WWE.
But after a tweet on August 31 expressing his frustration with his iPhone, he stopped giving updates to fans.
The popular wrestler was spotted in real-life at the Riot Fest in Chicago, performing with The Bouncing Souls.
Also, the WWE for the first time publicly acknowledged Pnk’s departure in an article about John Cena’s greatest rivalries.
“It takes a bold, bold man to call himself The Best in the World without any hint of showmanship to it. CM Punk was nothing if not bold. The self-appointed heir apparent to Cena as the face of professional wrestling, Punk’s agitation over being passed over festered into an earth-shattering ‘pipe bomb’ that took Cena, the McMahons, and the institution of sports-entertainment itself to task,” it said.
“He then promptly won Cena’s WWE Title and gallivanted off into retirement, but you probably don’t need Wikipedia to know The Straight Edge Superstar couldn’t stay away for long. He eventually came back to further challenge Cena’s dominance and beat him more often than not. These two were having classic matches for years after that initial clash. Perhaps the greatest disappointment in Punk’s untimely departure is knowing they definitely had a few more in them.”
Meanwhile, AJ Lee is set for a doubles match at Monday Night Raw, teaming up with Brie Bella to take on Paige and Nikki Bella.
The Bella sisters fued started after Nikki interfered with the match between Stephanie McMahon and Brie at SummerSlam, stunning fans by helping McMahon beat her sister.
