WWE Spoilers: Dana White addresses Brock Lesnar’s UFC Future and Jim Ross weighs in on CM Punk’s quitting WWE

WWE legend Jim Ross has posted a new blog on his site at JRsBarBQ.com and offered his thoughts on the CM Punk situation. Here is a portion of his comments:

“Was it really unexpected? Likely not. Punk has not been a happy camper within WWE for quite some time. That point has been made abundantly clear on many occasions. He's tired, he's beat up, and he's not enjoying himself at work.

[…]

Matters such as this generally concern one or both of the Two C's…cash and/or creative.
Punk is mentally and physically burned out and he's not having enough professional fulfillment to work through his issues. He needs a break.

[…]

Punk is a very cerebral talent who has earned his stripes the hard way and has more than paid his dues. He's earned super star status via having numerous, main event classic bouts in WWE rings on huge stages. Coming to WWE was the greatest thing Punk could have done for himself professionally. He's become globally famous and has made a handsome amount of money thanks to the WWE machine.

[…]

I do not think that Punk has wrestled his last match in WWE. I do feel that it's best for all involved for Punk to take much needed time off even if it means that he misses a WrestleMania.”

Dana White Comments on Brock Lesnar’s UFC Future
TMZ caught up with UFC president Dana White and asked about Brock Lesnar’s possible return to MMA. White responded that because of his diverticulitis, Lesnar did not go out of UFC on a high note and “feels like he wasn’t 100%.” He also said Lesnar definitely wants to return to UFC.

TMZ then asked if he would rather compete in WWE of UFC, and White replied “I think he wants to do both” and added that he would welcome Lesnar back openly.
