I guess I can understand Punk's gripe, he had a legitimate claim to the main event after carrying the title for 434 days, but it's not like he was being left out. He did face Taker and was apparently scheduled to face HHH at 30. There was a lot more that went into Punk's leaving, the guy was pretty much miserable near the end and I doubt a Mania main event would have changed that. I remember him saying in an interview that he was more than unmotivated in his program with Taker, I think he actually said he didn't care at that point which is when he realized that he wasn't going to be around much longer.
Had he stayed around, he probably would have gotten his main event, than again, with the emergence of Reigns and Lesnar, he might not have. Basically, Punk wasn't a WWE guy and I doubt Vince found him reliable enough to carry the brand. Ultimately, he was right.
