8 CM Punk revelations from WWE Network show 'Something Else To Wrestle'

#3 He was close to being fired during his time in ECW

Paul Heyman was CM Punk's biggest advocate

Paul Heyman left WWE and the ECW brand after the disastrous December to Dismember event in 2006, and his departure almost had a significant impact on the future of CM Punk.

Bruce revealed that Punk was “on the bubble” of being cut by the company following Heyman’s exit. However, Vince McMahon liked the "cockiness and swagger" that the former ECW champion had, which saved him from being fired.
