Amid reports that the WWE and CM Punk are still having issues with each other, the company has removed the "Best in the World" from the description of an upcoming WWE Studios movie he appears in.
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, WWE Studios is releasing a movie called Queen of the Ring, which features cameos by Punk as well as The Miz and Eve Torres. While the WWE has Punk on the DVD cover for the movie, it removed any mention of him in the YouTube description of the trailer.
"In a desperate attempt to reconnect with her estranged son who is a passionate WWE fan, Rose grabs his attention by joining a rigorous training program to learn to wrestle like a legitimate WWE Diva," the description reads. "She convinces her bored fellow cashiers at the local supermarket to join her challenging new adventure and together they become the "Queens of the Ring". Featuring cameos by The Miz and Eve Torres."
The WWE recently struck a deal with Punk that enabled the company to start selling his merchandise again after Punk's lawyers sent a 22-page letter to the organization over the use of his likeness on merchandise and in the WWE 2K15 video game.
Punk walked out on the WWE back in January a day after the Royal Rumble due to his frustration over the way his character was being used as well as due to being burned out by the rigorous travel schedule of the company.
Punk has made many public appearances since his departure, but has not seemed to want to come back to the ring anytime soon, even going as far as to tell a reporter at the AP Music Awards that he was "never ever" returning to the squared circle.
His deal with the WWE officially expired in July, and Punk married WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee in June. Lee took time off from April-June to move in with Punk and marry him.
Punk was reportedly offered a lucrative deal by TNA that he turned down, a deal which the company disputes, and he was recently backstage at a Ring of Honor event. Punk is not expected to wrestle for any promotion anytime soon.
While Punk and the WWE have recently hashed out their dispute over the use of his likeness, things are still said to be bad between the two sides.
