WWE is now officially stating that CM Punk has not been released by the company according to a statement to Dave Meltzer. A report earlier today by Dave Scherer of PWInsider.com stated that discussion at weekend WWE live events was that Punk may have been already granted his release by the company and that he appeared to already be done.
As noted at the time of the report, Punk’s name remained listed as part of the roster.
This would be the first time that WWE has responded to inquires about Punk.
