CM Punk has confirmed that he suffered an injury at the Royal Rumble on Saturday, a match in which he made the final two before being eliminated by eventual winner, Cody Rhodes. A teary-eyed Punk opened the show on Monday Night Raw and revealed that he has torn his right tricep which appeared to suggest that he likely won’t be able to make WrestleMania this year. “Maybe it’s just not ever gonna happen, and I don’t want anybody to feel sorry for me,” he said in an emotional promo. “WrestleMania 40 I guess it’s not in the cards for me, but I am a Chicago Cubs fan and this isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last time I say this, there’s always next year,” the Chicago based star added further. Drew McIntyre then interrupted the emotional moment, and the two cut a promo before the former attacked Punk, and Sami Zayn came out to make the save.

<h2 style="text-align: center">CM Punk: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
Phillip Jack Brooks, better known as CM Punk, is an American professional wrestler currently signed with WWE and outcasted from All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He is a retired mixed martial artist who competed in the UFC. Punk also works as a commentator for Cage Of Fury fighting championships, a comic book writer, and an actor.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What is the net worth of CM Punk?</b></h2>
As per CelebrityNetWorth, the net worth of CM Punk as of January 2024 is estimated to be $12 million. Punk is paid handsomely as a part of the WWE. Before that, he was the highest-earning ECW star in 2006-2008, earning around $200,000 to $300,000 annually. In WWE, he was earning $1 million annually in 2011.

The figure went up to 1.3 million in 2012-13. It touched $1.7 million in 2013-14. He was the cover star of the WWE 2K13 video game, which earned him another $200,000. CM Punk had earned enough brand value to earn millions wherever he went after he left WWE. That's why UFC was ready to pay him well, even as a novice. His first fight got him $500,000.

He got more out of the PPV revenue, which pushed his earnings past the one million mark. He was paid $503,500 for his second appearance. An additional $500,000 was given as an appearance fee and $3500 as a fight incentive. Punk's salary following his comeback to WWE after over nine years is kept under wraps as of now.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>All we need to know about the family of CM Punk?</b></h2>
Not much is known about CM Punk's family as, despite ruling headlines owing to his successful professional career, he has managed to keep his personal life away from the limelight. The only fact known about his parents is that his father was an architectural engineer while his mother was a homemaker. The former mixed martial artist also has five siblings.

His elder brother goes by the name Mike Brooks, while he also has a younger sister named Chaleen Lee Creeks. Meanwhile, no information is available about his other three siblings. Speaking of his love life, Punk married the American author AJ Lee, also known as April Jeanette Mendez, in June 2014.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>CM Punkâ€™s record in professional wrestling</b></h2>
Of the many hats he has donned, Punk is most famous for his professional wrestling stint that saw him revolutionize the WWE. Starting with Ring of Honor, Punk made his WWE debut in 2005. After being a mid-card wrestler for years, his rivalry with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">John Cena</a> finally pushed him to the stratosphere.

He was the perfect anti-hero to the larger-than-life superhero persona of Cena. However, fans were firmly behind Punk and booed the face of the company to support the Straight Edge Superstar. His breakout moment was the famous pipe-bomb promo where he created an illusion of going off script and bashing Vince McMahon and his handling of the promotion. It did not go unnoticed as Punk began a record-breaking reign with the WWE title, which saw him remain champion for 434 days.

That was not theÂ only record he held in the company. Punk is a 3-time World Heavyweight Champion (WWE), 2-time WWE Champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, World Tag Team Champion, and the winner of the 2008 and 2009 Money In The Bank ladder matches. CM Punk is the 7th longest-reigning WWE Champion of all time.

However, after all this, he had a tragic fallout with WWE over the alleged mishandling of his health and inappropriate booking. This saw Punk leaving professional wrestling for good and joining the UFC as a mixed martial artist.

Despite bringing a lot of attention, his MMA career in the Welterweight division was a flop, with him losing both his fights. After being away from WWE for over nine years, Punk made an unexpected comeback in November 2023.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>All about CM Punkâ€™s charity</b></h2>
CM Punk has been a quite charitable superstar throughout his career. He has fulfilled many wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, as well as a similar charity called the Kids Wish Network.

Punk also joined Kerry Wood's Strike Zone Bowling Tournament, a tournament that sets out to improve the health of Chicago children through healthy eating and enhanced education. He has also painted customized chairs for the Chicago Cubs to be auctioned off, and in 2015, he auctioned off his first car, a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo to charity.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>CM Punkâ€™s theme song</b></h2>
CM Punk has 'Cult of Personality' as his theme song. The song came out in 1988 and formed a part of the debut album 'Vivid' by the American rock band Living Colour.
