WWE BEGINS TO MAKE MOVES IN THEIR COLD WAR WITH CM PUNK

"It's like the Cuban Missile Crisis", former WWE star Cliff "Domino" Compton said about the WWE-CM Punk situation during a PWInsider Elite audio last week.

So, perhaps it's fitting that WWE has begun to silently remove CM Punk from packages and graphics within their programming.

Punk was removed from the WWE open that is seen at the start of every WWE broadcast, replaced with an old masked shot of Kane.

Punk was also removed from a Raw graphic on the WWE App over the course of yesterday.

Perhaps most telling, a clip of Punk talking about Paul Heyman was removed from a preview package of the WWE Network's WWE Countdown series.

To date, WWE has not publicly responded to requests for comments on Punk's current WWE status. Punk is still listed on the company roster.
