CM Punk have a crystal ball?

I've been watching the “Summer of Punk” 2011 stuff on the network. The
promos Punk cut with HHH, and especially the contract signing on RAW
with Vince where he basically called him out on everything that was
wrong with the WWE, as well his not knowing how to book talent properly
no matter how over they were with the crowd, are quite telling. Fast
forwarding to today, not much has changed and it's seems to only have
gotten worse. Did Punk see the bigger picture way back then? Where his
“pipe bombs” hitting a little too close to home for management to
tolerate, thus letting him go?

Thoughts?
