WWE might have opened itself to getting sued by Punk again since they decided to be an active participant in the Dr. Amann lawsuit.
They decided to post a video from the 2014 Rumble and claims of having no medical documents as proof of Punk lying.

CM Punk claimed this past November that during the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event on January 26, 2014 he performed with a baseball-sized, purple lump on his back located near the waistband of his tights.
WWE’s investigation has shown the following:
CM Punk did not discuss this alleged condition with WWE’s team of physicians and trainers, nor did he discuss it with anyone in our Talent Relations department.
Subsequently, WWE has no medical records documenting this alleged condition.
The first time WWE was made aware of this alleged condition was when we received a letter from CM Punk’s attorney on August 22, 2014 after WWE terminated his contract.
There is clear video evidence from the 2014 Royal Rumble, which allows all to decide whether there is any appearance of a baseball-sized growth on CM Punk’s back.

Punk previously showed off a scar of where the lump was and had said during the Colt podcast that his tights covered the lump during the Rumble. Video of him showing the scar is around the 35 seconds mark.

Most likely the lump wasn't literally the size of a baseball but the WWE not having any documents would tie into Punk's claims of the doctor ignoring to treat or diagnose Punk's illness at the time.
