With the foundation of the WWE shook up now that CM Punk has reportedly quit the company, it would appear as though barring any changes that his match with Triple H at WrestleMania XXX in New Orleans is canceled, leading to speculation that Triple H will face Daniel Bryan at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on April 6.
Reports early Wednesday morning indicated that Punk quit the WWE due to his frustration over the fact that "part-timers"--such as The Rock the last two years and Batista this year--have been headlining WrestleMania the past few years, which has been a life-long goal for the superstar.
The reports indicated that Punk was written out of Monday's episode of RAW and told WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon that he was going home and not coming back. There were rumors that Punk was set to take on Kane at the Elimination Chamber on Feb. 23 in Minneapolis to play off of their conflict at Sunday's Royal Rumble pay-per-view and bridge into a program with Triple H at WrestleMania XXX, but it appears those plans are dead.
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, Bryan may now get a shot to take on Triple H at the biggest show of the year instead. Bryan opened up RAW in a segment with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon where Triple H continued to belittle him, planting the seeds of a potential feud leading into the biggest show of the year on April 6.
It was rumored that Bryan would take on Sheamus at WrestleMania for the third time in four years, but it seems as though the WWE has changed its creative direction, especially after the outrage by the WWE fans at the Royal Rumble event for the lack of Bryan's inclusion in the match.
It seems as though the WWE is using that as a way to make The Authority hold down Bryan in order to lead into a program at WrestleMania XXX.
It remains to be seen how the final card will shape up, but with Punk gone and the WWE shuffling the deck, the landscape of WrestleMania XXX continues to change.
