CM Punk leaving WWE [VIDEO]: WWE blocks 'Best in the World' face on poster in Warrior documentary [PHOTO]

The WWE aired The Ultimate Legacy, a documentary on the late Ultimate Warrior a.k.a. Jim Hellwig on the WWE Network on Thursday night, and when CM Punk was featured on a poster in the background during part of the special, the WWE covered up his face.

According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, in one part of the documentary The Warrior meets with some of the WWE's merchandise staff about some of the designs they had planned for him. During the segment, there were recent WWE pay-per-view posters hanging.

On one of them, the one for the 2014 Royal Rumble, CM Punk was featured on it but a post-it note was blocking his face. Ironically, the Royal Rumble was the final time that Punk appeared in a WWE ring as he was the No. 1 entrant and lasted into the final four before being eliminated.

Punk walked out on the WWE the following day before the Jan. 27 edition of Monday Night RAW due to burnout from traveling, pain from wrestling and frustration with the company's direction for his character. Though his contract doesn't expire until July, Punk opted to walkout on the company and it doesn't seem like he'll return while he still continues to make money off of his merchandise sales.

The WWE aired the tribute to The Warrior as part of their "Warrior Week" campaign on the WWE Network. They also honored him on RAW this past Monday with a tribute video, the talent adorned on stage in Warrior gear and a 10-bell salute.

Warrior passed away on April 8 due to complications from heart disease just days after appearing at the WWE Hall of Fame, WrestleMania XXX and cutting his first RAW promo in 18 years.
