WWE Chairman Vince McMahon suspends CM Punk

Raw’s abrupt conclusion Monday night was not due to technical difficulties. The decision to suddenly end the broadcast in that manner was made by WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, who gave this quote to WWE.com:

“CM Punk was suspended indefinitely for his unprofessional conduct as soon as Raw went off the air.”

With his WWE contract expiring on July 17, one can only assume that this suspension effectively terminates CM Punk’s tenure with WWE.

Punk takes the microphone and says he wants to get a lot off his cheat before he leave in three weeks. Says he likes Cena more than most of the people in the back. Says he hates the idea that Cena is the best because he is the best WRESTLER in the world. Says the only thing Cena is the better at is kissing Vince’s ass. He is good as kissing ass as Hulk Hogan but maybe not as good as Dwayne.

Punk says he has been the best since the first day he entered the WWE but had a target on his back because he was a Paul Heyman guy. Says you know who was a Heyman guy? BROCK LESNAR…… and he split. The difference is he will is going to split with the WWE title unlike Lesnar. Says he has grabbed so many of Vince’s imaginary rings that he realized that they are just imaginary. Says he is the only real thing. Says the company will not promote him as he is not on the program and not on some crappy show on the USA network and he is not on the poster of Wrestlemania. The fact that Dwayne is in the main event of Wrestlemania and not him makes him sick. The people cheer and Punk tells the fans that the people should not cheer because they are one of the biggest reasons he is leaving. Says he might take the WWE title and defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling or Ring of Honor. Says hi to Colt Cabana in the camera. Says Vince should be a billionaire but is only a millionaire and that is because he surrounds himself with yes men. The company might be better off when he dies but his daughter and the rest of his stupid family are going to take control of the company. Punk is about to tell a personal story about Vince and his Bully campaign but the microphone is cut off and Raw leave the air with Punk yelling about being cutoff.
