Evidenced by Austin returning to work with KO, 7cm phil simply wasn't worth returning for

Punk refused when he was told he wouldn't be allowed to hit Austin with a stunner and have him stretchered out in 15 seconds.

Because they didn't even want CM Punk on the cover of this game. People in the office were pushing very hard for it to be Sheamus but THQ were insistent. So they damn sure weren't going to reward him with his dream match at Mania

The summer of spunk literally did fuck all for business
Cody/Rock was the real money of the early 2010s

He was just a placeholder for Cena (and Rock) who main-evented more PPVs during that reign than Punk did even though Punk was the champion.

Austin took a single look at Punk and knew right away that he was a drama bitch and decided to not work with him.

Cena and Rock were the real top guys at that time. That was evident when they summarily took the belt off of him to build Rock vs Cena Part II. At least they gave him a rematch and a Taker feud to make up for it.

Glad they didn't
I can't think of anyone worth a shit for Austin to even waste his time coming out of retirement for and now he is way too old to get in the ring
It was already sad they had him wrestle that fat shitter Kevin Owens.

Would've much preferred Stone Cold dethroning CM Punk then jobbing to Cena at WM than The Rock

eDrones are so fucking stupid. Cena and Rock was planned for over a year, and CM Punk becoming the guy out of nowhere was not going to change their plans (Another fact that Meltzer is full of shit). Giving ANYONE a match with Taker at Mania is why they call him the DeadMan. It's a fucking death sentence that benefits no one, has the corniest, most lame build up of pretending to freak out over a bell, and zero pay off, left in limbo after the PLE.
