The CM Punk situation is personally being handled by Vince McMahon himself, as opposed to Triple H or WWE’s Talent Relations department.
WWE officials are not happy at all about the story getting out and there being a big deal publicly. The hope was to keep it as an internal issue and deal with it within the company.
There were meeting with the WWE creative team all last week discussing WrestleMania XXX plans if Punk does not return, as well what to do with him if he does come back. The meetings were not as a result of Punk walking out specifically but also a by-product of fans rejecting segments and the reaction for Daniel Bryan at the Royal Rumble. A source noted that “anything is possible” at this point in regards to the WrestleMania XXX card and nothing should be considered official or locked in with the exception of John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt.

Dave Meltzer noted on last night’s episode of Wrestling Observer Radio (subscription required) that there are many people in WWE that are “not unhappy” that CM Punk apparently quit last week. Meltzer noted that there “was a lot of negativity towards him from a lot of people in the company.”
Meltzer also stated that Vince McMahon wants Punk to return since there aren’t many other top stars in the company. As for why Punk left, Meltzer said that there may not one specific reason. As to rumors about Punk leaving because Daniel Bryan was replacing him against Triple H at WrestleMania, he said that the direction was changed only after Punk quit and Punk was scheduled to face Triple H at the show until that point.
As noted earlier, Punk was not happy to be facing Triple H at WrestleMania. With his contract expiring in July and people within the company not expecting him to re-sign, he likely knew the direction that the match would go in.
