When Young reminded him that Mike Tyson and others were making their return to the ring, he still seemed unmoved in his decision.

“It’s not over for them like it is for me and Booker. We’re done, we’re over,” said Punk. Booker agreed with this statement, but still tired to talk some fight back into Punk.

“I’ve got a decade on you, Punk, maybe more,” joked Booker. However, Punk still didn’t change his mind. He went on to describe Mike Tyson’s return as an inspiration, but that was as far as he’d go on that topic.

His departure came as a huge blow to WWE. It took a while for Punk fans to understand what had just happened. After Punk’s stint at UFC, it became clearer that he didn’t have any compelling intention of returning to WWE.
