Despite initial reports to the contrary, the latest word going around is that
CM Punk is still receiving his merchandise checks from WWE. As noted on
Thursday, WWE has been continuing to sell Punk merchandise, including the
distribution of new Punk merchandise at WrestleMania Axxess in New Orleans this
past weekend.

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin has mentioned several times when reflecting on his
walkout of WWE that during his hiatus, he was not receiving money from WWE,
including profits earned on his merchandise being sold. He noted when talking
about Punk walking out on the company during recent podcasts and media
interviews that Punk is leaving tons of money on the table, but apparently that
is not the case.

At the time Punk walked out on the company, he was the number two
merchandise-mover, trailing only John Cena. At this point in time, while the
latest official figures have yet to come in, it is believed that he is still
among the top five wrestlers in the company in terms of current merchandise
sales, and possibly as high as number three.
