CM Punk said, “I was burnt out. It takes a while to come back from burning out. Across the board, everybody, I feel, has done it in some way. Paul Heyman left. Paul Heyman came back. The door being open with Vince (McMahon) leaving expedited things. Being told that it’s a completely different place and having blind faith to go back into that is a risk. I can tell you, it’s a completely different place.” 

While discussing WWE’s new era, Punk bluntly revealed that he would have never returned if Vince McMahon had still been in power. He didn’t reveal the reason but said that some days, when he writes a book, he’ll tell everything.”I don’t think so. No. Someday I’ll write a book, and I’ll tell everybody.”
