WWE has removed C.M. Punk from the WrestleMania Axxess lineup. Fans who purchased tickets for his April 5 VIP autograph session were emailed and informed that Ric Flair would be replacing Punk. Fans who purchased tickets to meet Punk now have the option of taking a refund, exchanging their ticket for one of the other VIP sessions, or attending the session with Flair.

Powell's POV: WWE has confirmed to Prowrestling.net that the change is official. No explanation was offered to fans in the email, so apparently WWE is not ready to comment on the Punk situation. It is very telling regarding his standing with the company, as he was pulled him from upcoming live event advertising, yet was still advertised for the WrestleMania weekend event even after he left Raw on Monday.
