I think you're doing a lot of supposition there, xrod. Punk was going to be figured into a match against Triple H at WrestleMania XXX. He walked out because he wanted to. The door is open for him to go back any time. The crowd would call him a "hypocrite" all they want, he'll just rub it all in their faces -- "don't trust a snake." SmackDown could really use a heel to go against AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan...
He failed to launch a successful career in UFC win-loss wise, but I'm sure he got paid out the ass for those fights. Just like I'm sure he's been paid out the ass for the shitty comics he wrote and that reality TV appearance. Not sure why you're holding The Miz headlining WrestleMania over Punk as some sort of trophy or whatever. That's kind of the bullshit Punk was rallying against. And Punk basically stole The Miz's push out from under him when he cut down dudes who have shitty catchphrases that time on Raw. The Miz hasn't sniffed a legit main event since that year, by the way.
You kind of did say that AJ Lee would want to go back if it weren't for Punk, which is not necessarily the case. She was outspoken about a lot of issues there too, and publicly called out Stephanie McMahon on some shit. She's free to leave Punk and free to return on her own to the company. She's not a prisoner. Punk and Lee will both probably end up back working with them again. Or they'll take massive Sinclair contracts at some point. They're just fed up with the circus and doing shit they want to do right now, because they have a certain level of financial independence.
Punk just doesn't want to give money to Colt Cabana for some reason. Maybe he feels he's a spineless twat and doesn't feel obliged? Maybe he feels that Cabana has sapped too much off him in the past? Maybe he just figures he needs to stop giving hand-outs to his friends? All of this can be true independently of whether or not he is a dick.
