Rumor Mill - CM Punk Tells Vince McMahon He’s “Going Home”; Removed From Future Programming & Live Events

Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline.com received the following information, which he shared with listeners live on the "Bryan & Vinny Show" earlier today:

"There may be a big change in that the WrestleMania match may be being changed to Triple H vs. Daniel Bryan, as opposed to Triple H vs. CM Punk. Which is why Bryan was written into a promo on Monday that happened to be a promo with Triple H … and there has been absolutely zero mention with CM Punk and Kane, their feud, or anything having to do with it. Bryan may be getting Punk's match."

The website is now reporting that WWE Superstar CM Punk told Vince McMahon personally that he was going home, and then got on a plane for Chicago. WWE.com has since removed Punk from all upcoming live events and house shows over the next few weeks including Monday Night Raw. At this time he is still being advertised for the Elimination Chamber PPV on February 23rd in Minneapolis, MN but it remains to be seen how long Punk will be gone.

This seems to fly in the face of other recent reports from the Observer that have stated that WWE had no plans of changing Daniel Bryan's WrestleMania match after a hostile Royal Rumble crowd, but plans are constantly changing in the company and anything is possible at this point, it would seem. CM Punk tweeted the following message on Monday morning:

Thanks for all the support. Keep being you guys, it's pretty cool.
— Coach (@CMPunk) January 27, 2014

Also keep in the back of your mind that with The Authority being both a real life managerial structure and an on-screen faction, it wouldn't be too crazy to assume that WWE wants this information getting out, so they can use Punk's absence in a future storyline.

We can only hope...I can't stand that guy...

Rumor Mill - Triple H - WrestleMania 30 Plans

WWE plans to end the long running "Authority" story line at WrestleMania 30, and right now the plan is to have Triple H face CM Punk in a match at the big PPV.

However, lately WWE has been discussing a possible Triple H vs Roman Reigns match as a potential "backup" plan to the CM Punk bout, as WWE has been teasing a Reigns babyface turn in recent weeks.

The Conclusion To The Authority Angle & Triple H’s Opponent For Wrestlemania XXX, Major Tag Match Pitched, Hulk Hogan?

Talks between WWE and Hulk Hogan are ongoing. As bizarre as it sounds, Hogan would love to wrestle John Cena at Wrestlemania XXX. However, in the latest twist, Triple H is leaning towards a Wrestlemania match against Cena.

Neither Triple H nor Vince McMahon want Hogan’s deal with the company to be contingent on Hogan getting a match with Cena at Wrestlemania. Big Show actually pitched an idea of having Hogan tag with him against Triple H and Randy Orton but creative doesn’t think the feud between Show and Triple H can be stretched out long enough. Not to mention that Hunter and Vince both prefer there be a singles match where Triple H faces Vince’s “hand picked” opponent.

While things could always change, that hand picked opponent is currently John Cena. So if Wrestlemania were this weekend, it’d be Cena vs. Triple H.

Rumor Mill - Backstage News On Daniel Bryan And The WWE Title, His Storyline With Triple H And Stephanie

Daniel Bryan is indeed out of the WWE Title picture after the storyline "reset" at last Monday's RAW. For now, there are no plans for Bryan to contend for the championship.

There is at least some talk of putting some contention back on Bryan during WrestleMania season but he is in a program with CM Punk and The Wyatt Family for the next few months.

In WWE's mind, they made Bryan a star and showed the audience that he can hang with their other top Superstars. The storyline is that Bryan couldn't overcome The Authority, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, so later on down the line this can be addressed again.
