Vince McMahon had quiet a few differences with CM Punk which led him to leave the company in 2014. Punk went home before an episode of RAW in 2014.

Punk revealed in an interview that WWE didn’t pay him the remaining debt and fired him from the company for a period of two months. He added that the company didn’t approach him after the ban ended.
