For anyone that had hopes of CM Punk having some sort of working relationship with WWE again, yeah, you can probably forget that.

CM Punk and Colt Cabana broke the internet on Thursday when Cabana dropped the latest edition of his Art of Wrestling podcast where Punk finally explained what happened between he and WWE.

Of course, as you would expect, Punk pulled no punches in explaining everything that’s been going on over the course of the past few months, including noting the fact that WWE fired him on his wedding day earlier this summer.

But, what might be most notable out of all this is the fact that Punk came right out and stated that there will never be a working relationship with he and the company ever again.

"“Obviously it took a while (for the split to be complete). They tried to do all this wacky shit where they asked me if I wanted to make a joint statement, I said ‘go f** yourselves.’ They tried to throw a non-disparagement clause in where both sides wouldn’t speak negatively of the other one and I said, through my lawyer, ‘I haven’t said a word since I left. You’re the motherf****s who go on television and call me a quitter in my hometown. So if you want to go on televison in my hometown and apologize and say that you lied, that I didn’t quit, that you fired me on my wedding day, and see how they react, I’ll consider signing a non-disparagement clause. But I also had no plans to go on this big anti-WWE tirade. And if anybody out there thinks that that’s what this is it’s really not, it’s me just telling my story. If there are negative and bitter parts, that’s a part of f***ing life and like I said before I’ve embraced it, I’m working through it, I’m getting over it.“They kept saying ‘your client is going to TNA, he’s going to TNA, and the brand is going to be ‘f*** WWE and this and this’ and my lawyer was like ‘I’ll tell you right now, my client is not going to TNA. He absolutely despises professional wrestling and he wants nothing to do with it. He says he’s never going to wrestle again.’ … There’s no working relationship and there never will be ever again. That wedding day thing, you know, is pretty ridiculous."

This situation really is uglier than we originally thought, and yes, the realization set in that there will not be any miracle of him coming back any time soon. You can try and talk yourself into that as much as you want, but the fact of the matter is that it’s not happening.
