WWE superstar CM Punk, who walked out of the company after the Royal Rumble event in January this year, has now sent a 22-page letter to the WWE over royalties due to him.
CM Punk's contract was to end in July, but since he walked out six months in advance, it is rumoured that WWE never paid him his share of the royalties. Moreover, they have used him as a character in their video game WWE 2K15. These actions seem to have angered Punk, whose lawyers have sent the letter to WWE.
Meanwhile, famous wrestling promoter and manager Paul Heyman said last week that WWE never wanted CM Punk in the first place, and that his success was contrary to their expectations and against their wishes. Heyman stated:
"They never wanted CM Punk to begin with," Heyman said. "When I was in Louisville, doing WWE Developmental, they sent CM Punk down to me so I could fire him. Every week I would send memos to guys who were in charge of the Raw and SmackDown rosters saying: 'You have a main eventer down here; someone scoop him up' and no one would take him for a year—to the point when we launched ECW in WWE, I brought him with me because no one else on Raw and SmackDown even wanted him."
