CM Punk hasn't been on WWE programming since walking out on the company in January, but reports out of Monday Night RAW this past week indicated that Paul Heyman alluded to the "Best in the World" during a commercial break while he was cutting a promo, and more information has come out about what Heyman said.
Updated Extreme Rules matches and rumors
It was reported that while Heyman came out to brag about Brock Lesnar defeating The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX and ending The Streak, the WWE went to commercial and Heyman referenced Punk's failure to end The Streak a year ago.
It has now been reported what exactly Heyman said during the commercial prior to Cesaro's match with Rob Van Dam on RAW.
Bill Goldberg open to a return to the WWE
"Here's a pipebomb for you," Heyman told the crowd during the break. "My client, Brock Lesnar, did what a Paul Heyman Guy couldn't do last year, when he conquered The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania."
A video of Heyman saying that can be viewed here.
The WWE has distanced itself from Punk since he walked out prior to the Jan. 27 RAW telecast on the night after the Royal Rumble, aside from a few mentions during the Chicago RAW from Punk's hometown on March 3.
Punk seems to be done with the company after he walked out due to frustration with the WWE's creative direction for his character, as well as the wear-and-tear that he goes through from traveling around the globe and performing so often.
In Punk's absence, Lesnar defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX in what could be the Dead Man's last match ever as he may now retire. Punk --who was unhappy with going after The Streak rather than being in the main event --failed to defeat 'Taker last year at WrestleMania XXIX.
Punk walked out on the WWE due to being unhappy with the plans the company had to pit him against Triple H at WrestleMania XXX. Daniel Bryan was then thrown into the match instead and ended up beating Triple H in order to propel himself to the main event that night where he defeated Batista and Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
With Lesnar taking time off and Punk gone and seemingly never coming back, Heyman is now paired with Cesaro and won't stop bragging about "The Beast" ending The Streak, even if Lesnar isn't there to talk about it himself.
