At this point, CM Punk is still expected to take time off following WrestleMania 29. Several people in WWE believe that he is more beat up than he’s been letting on and he’s believed to be burned out from his constant work for the company over the past two years.

Punk has also reportedly been at odds with WWE’s creative team in recent months.
