According to PWInsider.com, WWE officials pulled Champion CM Punk from the recent UFC on FOX special with Chael Sonnen because when Punk asked for time off, he didn’t specify that it was to appear on TV for UFC. It’s believed that Punk was trying to quietly arrange the appearance to make waves and get some attention for both himself and WWE. WWE was not happy with the idea of Punk appearing on another company’s program so they nixed the appearance. As noted last week, Punk still attended the show and was backstage.
