Poor CM Punk. He "quits" the company, and still worked at least one day each week all year.

He wrestled: 7/1 to 7/6/2011 (Australia tour), 7/11/2011 (week 28, Boston), 7/16/2011 (week 29, Chicago - MITB), 7/29/2011 (week 30, Peoria), 7/30/2011 (week 31, Rockford), 7/31/2011 (week 31, Springfield), 8/1/2011 week 31, Indy), 8/5/2011 (week 31, Salt Lake).
