CM Punk himself wanted to leave WWE because he was unhappy. He also claimed the company was negligent towards his medical condition. But the nature of his departure left a bad taste in his mouth. In 2014, on Colt Cabana's podcast, Punk claimed that he was fired from WWE on his wedding day.

"The day of my wedding, I got a FedEx in the mail. It was my termination papers. I was fired. So, take that, everyone who says I need to be... I'm a quieter (sic) on Twitter. I was fired, on my wedding day. Very calculated, very deliberate. As much as I chuckled at it and didn't let it affect my day, I was like, 'Once again, you pushed too f**ing far; you pushed the wrong guy.'"

@CMPunk Best in the World treated like he was lucky to have the job and don't worry kid someday you'll get that shot.I'd forgotten alot of this.Strange strange decisions made by the WWE. Someday, I hope you return on your terms and in that Main Slothttps://t.co/jVTUOrdKFW

While Punk felt relieved to retire from wrestling at the relatively young age of 35, he was clearly upset that he got his termination papers on a very special day in his life. Since he left the business, Punk had a lackluster MMA career, but his acting assignments have kept him busy. His 2019 horror movie, "Girl on the Third Floor" earned plenty of praise, and Punk has found plenty of success outside of WWE.
