Punk Pulled from Events, JBL Back on SmackDown

[Konan]

JBL noted on Twitter that despite some major flight troubles, he will be returning to commentary on tonight's WWE SmackDown taping from Cincinnati.

- CM Punk has been pulled from all live events until WrestleMania 29 for a number of reasons including him being physically banged up. People, including Punk, are still downplaying the arm injury that he suffered in the RAW match against Kane last week. WWE officials want him fresh and ready for the big match at WrestleMania 29.

Speaking of Punk, there were a lot of people not happy with his backstage segment at last night's RAW where he juggled around Paul Bearer's urn to taunt The Undertaker. The feeling was that it wasn't as good as the Punk-Bearer-Taker stuff from the week before and that this one was bad for WWE and just bad in general. On a related note, it's said there is some kind of issue between Punk and WWE creative right now but we don't know what those problems might be.

Maybe Punk is not cool woth the fact that he had to loose to part-time appearer The Rock twice in a row and does not have the chance to win his title back at Wrestlemania but to lose to Undertaker and therefore being number 21 in 21-0...

I thought the segment was great. I'm a huge Punk fan and it made me want to see The Undertaker kick his teeth.
