It has been years since “The Best in the World” set foot in the WWE ring. The fans have wanted him back in the squared circle ever since he left. Well, good news, as CM Punk is rumored to return in the ring, however, it will be the All Elite Wrestling’s ring. The aforementioned rumor also includes former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan. The stage is set and fans are riled up. What will happen once they show up? The Two-Time WWE Hall of Famer, Sean Waltman, a.k.a. X-Pac has the answers. In a recent episode of the “Pro Wrestling 4 Life [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pro-wrestling-4-life-w-sean-x-pac-waltman/id1150124693]” podcast, Waltman took up the biggest news of the recent week. Waltman feels the signings will be best for business since both wrestlers are beloved by fans. He said, “It’s exciting. It’s just good for everyone. It doesn’t hurt WWE, I don’t think. It definitely helps AEW. They already have some really good momentum as far as I’m concerned. It’s gonna be a f**king game-changer.” Watch This Story – Six Times John Cena Stole Finishing Moves of Other WWE Superstars [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/wwe-news-six-times-john-cena-stole-finishing-moves-of-other-wwe-superstars-randy-orton-the-undertaker-dwayne-johnson-the-rock-raw-smackdown/] “The difference is one is just a publicly-traded company that’s just f**king monstrous. It’s huge, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere. That’s why I don’t think this necessarily hurts them. It just helps AEW, and it f**king helps the industry.” The fans are hoping the rumors turn true and they finally get to witness CM Punk [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cm-punk] and Daniel Bryan together. Now, if AEW can do this deal, they have a good chance of overtaking WWE in terms of ratings and popularity. A true game-changing signing is what this is.

With the joy of two big-name wrestlers coming in, the AEW [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/wrestling/aew/] fans are speculating if the current roster wrestlers might lose their shine. Waltman was asked a similar question, to which he simply said no. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/AEW-Darby-Allin-CM-Punk.jpg] He explained that if somebody is better than you, then maybe they deserve your spot.

Pac declared that in Jericho’s book, he well documented that Pac’s all about people that “deserve the spot through merit” thing. in 2006 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-ecw-rob-van-dam-kurt-angle-shoots-on-rvd-winning-the-wwe-championship-from-john-cena-in-2006/] What are your thoughts?

<h2>AEW 2021: Latest News, AEW Rumors, Results</h2>
All Elite Wrestling has been phenomenal throughout 2020 and has proved itself time and time again. Perhaps the only main contender to WWE, AEW has routed NXT and has now crossed the 1 million viewership mark.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/7xaqmMyjmAsByHJpCrnlyMbRxjs=/1400x1050/filters:format(jpeg)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19622967/EO7md32XUAApg5L.jpg" alt="I'm Embarrassed this Happens" data-noaft="1" />

Great content, excellent stipulations, and talented Superstars are what make AEW exciting. The different and raw vibe of wrestling in AEW makes it a very viable alternative to WWE wrestling.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h2>History</h2>
It’s hard to believe that the company is not even 2 years old, considering the fact that it has already beaten NXT viewership. AEW’s creation was announced on January 1, 2019, which turned a lot of eyes away from WWE.

The idea began when journalist Dave Meltzer posted on Twitter that ROH (Ring of Honor) had not managed to sell even 10,000 tickets for any wrestling show.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://gmsrp.cachefly.net/images/19/01/02/06fa27e58f9aa42ca3eb7ef0dfd176bd/960.jpg" alt="Two WWE legends are set to be involved in Cody Rhodes &amp; The Young Bucks' All Elite Wrestling | GiveMeSport" data-noaft="1" />

Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks (Nick Jackson and Matt Jackson), both responded by organizing a huge cross-promotion Wrestling event. Using their massive influence as the top stars of ROH, the three were able to gather a lot of Superstars.

The event, called All In, was a huge success. It registered the largest crowd attendance for a pay per view that wasn’t organized or affiliated to WWE. A whopping 11, 263 people attended All In, raising a lot of eyebrows.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/cody-young-bucks.jpg" alt="Cody Rhodes And The Young Bucks Mock WWE 24/7 Title | WrestlingWorld" data-noaft="1" />

Following this impact, Cody and the Young Bucks decided to pursue this new-found dream. It was announced on January 1, 2019, that All Elite Wrestling was going to enter the wrestling world.
<h3>Build-up</h3>
Billionaires Tony Khan and Shahid Khan backed this new promotion as the main investors. The Khans are also board members of the Jacksonville Jaguars and English football club Fulham FC.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i2-prod.mylondon.news/incoming/article14051044.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200/GettyImages-879842246.jpg" alt="Tony Khan reaffirms commitment to Fulham role after being named president of All Elite Wrestling | Football-Addict" data-noaft="1" />

Cody and the Young Bucks joined AEW as co-executive vice presidents, a day after the promotion’s arrival was announced. Cody’s wife Brandi Rhodes was announced as the company’s Chief Branding Officer.

Following this, AEW also announced the signing of many other Superstars. The team SoCal Uncensored consisting of Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, and Scorpio Sky, “Hangman” Adam Page, Joey Janela, Dr. Britt Baker, and former WWE Superstars Chris Jericho and Pac.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i1.wp.com/fullpresscoverage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/KennyOmega.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1" alt="Why Kenny Omega made the right choice going to AEW - Full Press Coverage" data-noaft="1" />

Later, popular Wrestler Kenny Omega also joined the promotion as the fourth co-executive vice president of the company. He has proved to be quite an attraction and is regarded as one of the best in the business.

AEW also made the key decision of partnering with Oriental Wrestling Entertainment (OWE) and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), which gives them access to another pool of talents.
<h3>Current times</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://s3.superluchas.com/2020/07/Orange-Cassidy-y-Chris-Jericho-AEW.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho Reacts to his Iconic Debate with Orange Cassidy on AEW - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

The first-ever pay per view, ‘AEW Double or Nothing,’ had tickets out on February 7, 2019. Since then, the way has only been up for AEW. Signing with TNT, AEW now has their shows aired on the same platform as WCW 20 years ago. AEW Dynamite has been a huge problem for NXT for the past few months as the AEW vs WWE war continues.

In fact, AEW ratings have risen during the pandemic period. The company is making good use of the pandemic situation to get an edge over WWE. The promotion has been letting in a number of fans to watch the event live, which has also helped its episodes.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Jon-Moxley-4.jpg" alt="Jon Moxley blasts the fan Who ran at him during AEW All Out Entrance - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

It is the only promotion that is actively competing with WWE and has already overtaken NXT to reach 1 million viewers. AEW will only keep climbing, and seek to do what WCW couldn’t- topple WWE.
<h2>What is AEW?</h2>
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is an American Professional Wrestling Promotion founded in 2019. It’s President and CEO is Tony Khan. Shahid Khan, along with Tony Khan, is the lead investor in the promotion.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h2>How AEW is different from WWE?</h2>
Unlike WWE, AEW does not have PG restrictions. This means that it can show explicit content that involves bloody stunts such as thumbtacks.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AEW05224-1200x675.jpg" alt="AEW Dynamite 7/22/20 Part 1 - Now That's What I Call Extreme Rules" data-noaft="1" />

WWE stopped airing such content after it attained the PG license post the Attitude Era. The insanity of Mick Foley and other “violent” acts would no longer air. AEW provides fans with a distinct similarity to those days.

The promotion freely uses thumbtacks and has little restriction in its matches. The reality of the entire show attracts a lot of wrestling fans. Unfortunately, WWE NXT cannot match this.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.wrestlezone.com/assets/uploads/2020/07/AEW-Dynamite-Darby-Allin-Ricky-Starks-Skateboard.jpg" alt="Ricky Starks Shows Off Bloody Back After Landing On Thumbtacks - Wrestlezone" data-noaft="1" />

AEW has also made great use of former WWE Superstars. The promotion recruits Superstars who were never used to their potential in WWE and makes them stars, showcasing the true talent that WWE threw away.
<h2>AEW Roster</h2>
AEW has a star-studded roster that can make wrestling fans go crazy over the possible storylines.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

AEW World Champion Kenny Omega defeated the unbeatable Jon Moxley to regain the title in a thrilling encounter.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cultaholic.com/files/images/Kenny%20Omega%20AEW%20Dynamite%20AAA.jpg" alt="" width="901" height="507" data-iml="35018" />

AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin is another big name for the promotion, notching a crucial win for his career over Cody Rhodes to win the gold.

AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida is a major talent in the women’s division and is arguably one of the best in the business. Her wrestling style has been critically acclaimed.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/TS1-EP0YQNVxdvfA7k9Aa-evIP0=/404x0:2047x1095/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/67018596/EaHjZ4xXgAEi_r7.0.0.0.jpeg" alt="Wrestling's Best Women, #10: Hikaru Shida - Cageside Seats" data-noaft="1" />

The AEW Tag Team FTR have been hailed as the next Arn and Tully, and they are certainly living up to that potential. We are yet to see the best of them.

The constant stars of the show are Orange Cassidy and Chris Jericho who recently had one of the funniest feuds ever. It ended with Jericho falling in a vat filled with a mixture of orange juice and Champagne form a mimosa.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/slides/photos/004/380/828/aa31261f94e2fffe857b2d948ba9fdf1_crop_exact.jpg?w=2975&amp;h=2048&amp;q=85" alt="AEW Revolution 2020 Results: Orange Cassidy Shines Brightest, More Hot Takes | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights" data-noaft="1" />

Other prominent names in the AEW roster include Cody, “Hangman” Adam Page, Brain Cage, Miro, Kip Sabian, MJF, Matt Hardy, and Sammy Guevara.

The women’s division also has upcoming talents such as Abadon, Anna Jay, and Brandi Rhodes.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://em.wattpad.com/a966bc4df39068d42f7c1a85a2068355f8de60f7/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f47487274426d344d674a664861513d3d2d3137312e313630623932336531366633623462373636303233313938323135362e6a7067" alt="AEW Smash or Pass - Anna Jay - Wattpad" data-noaft="1" />

AEW also announced the signing of former WWE Superstars Miro (Rusev), Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder), and Matt Sydal (Evan Bourne), adding them to the already great roster.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Chris Jericho 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Christopher Keith Irvine, better known as Chris Jericho, is a Canadian professional wrestler currently signed to AEW. He is also a musician, author, actor, and podcaster.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Jericho is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Some would even say that he is the greatest professional wrestler of all time. That isn't just because of him constantly reinventing himself in the WWE, but also because of his achievements outside the company.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Jericho began training to become a wrestler at 19 at the Hart Brothers School of Wrestling. His incredible skills led to the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) signing him. However, he was frustrated by the company constantly pushing ex-WWE superstars at the cost of its homegrown talent. This led to him signing with the WWE and quickly becoming one of the top stars in the company.</p>


[caption id="attachment_512046" align="aligncenter" width="454"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-512046" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210112003903/chris-jericho-and-big-show-454x315.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho and Big Show" width="454" height="315" /> LAS VEGAS - AUGUST 24: Wrestlers and tag team partners Chris Jericho (L) and Big Show appear in the ring during the WWE Monday Night Raw show at the Thomas &amp; Mack Center August 24, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">Chris became the first undisputed WWF Champion, defeating The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in one night. He would have many iconic feuds in the company ranging from old-timers like Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and The Rock to the new generation like Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">His ability to reinvent himself saw him excel both as a babyface and a heel. His most recent run with the WWE saw him incorporate things like "The List" and his "stupid idiot" catchphrase that caught on like wildfire. This was a tremendous example of how Jericho stayed relevant even as times changed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He left the WWE soon after to wrestle for smaller promotions like NJPW and AEW. Jericho has continued to rebuild himself even in the twilight of his career, and therefore, he is so respected.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Chris Jericho Achievements</h2>
[caption id="attachment_512043" align="aligncenter" width="473"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-512043" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210112003703/chris-jericho-tokyo-dome-473x315.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho at the Tokyo Dome" width="473" height="315" /> TOKYO,JAPAN - JANUARY 4: Chris Jericho holds the belt of IWGP Intercontinental championship during the Wrestle Kingdom 13 at Tokyo Dome on January 04, 2019 in Tokyo, Japan. (Photo by Masashi Hara/Getty Images)[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">Jericho holds many records in the WWE. He is a six-time world champion, having won the Undisputed WWF Championship within the WWF/WWE, along with winning the WCW/World Championship twice and the World Heavyweight Championship three times.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He has also held the WWE Intercontinental Championship a record nine times and was the ninth Triple Crown Champion, and the fourth Grand Slam Champion in history. Chris Jericho is also a two-time United States Champion and a two-time tag team champion. He is also the first-ever AEW World Champion.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Jericho has also held the IWGP Intercontinental Championship in NJPW. That further placed him as the foremost wrestler in the world. These victories increase his standing on the greatness meter.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Chris Jericho Net Worth</h2>
[caption id="attachment_512044" align="aligncenter" width="474"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-512044" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210112003742/chris-jericho-fozzy-474x315.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho Fozzy" width="474" height="315" /> WALTON-ON-TRENT, UNITED KINGDOM - AUGUST 11: Vocalist Chris Jericho of American heavy metal group Fozzy performing live on stage at Bloodstock Open Air festival in Derbyshire, England, on August 11, 2013.

<p style="text-align: center">Jericho's <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/wrestlers/chris-jericho-net-worth/">net worth</a> in 2022 is estimated to be $18 million. This comes from diverse sources of income, like professional wrestling, his band, and books.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">His current salary stands at $500,000 per annum as of 2022.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Chris also hosts a very popular podcast. This doesn't come as a surprise considering his extremely charismatic real-life personality.</p>

He also hosts professional wrestlers, former WWE stars, rock stars, and other notable personalities on his podcast.

Chris Jericho

NEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; OCTOBER 04: Chris Jericho attends the All Elite Wrestling panel during 2019 New York Comic Con at Jacob Javits Center on October 04, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Noam Galai/Getty Images for WarnerMedia Company) Chris Jericho 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Christopher Keith Irvine, better known as Chris Jericho, is a Canadian professional wrestler currently signed to AEW. He is also a musician, author, actor, and podcaster. Jericho is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Some would even say that he is the greatest professional wrestler of all time. That isn&#8217;t just because of him constantly reinventing himself in the WWE, but also because of his achievements outside the company. Jericho began training to become a wrestler at 19 at the Hart Brothers School of Wrestling. His incredible skills led to the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) signing him. However, he was frustrated by the company constantly pushing ex-WWE superstars at the cost of its homegrown talent. This led to him signing with the WWE and quickly becoming one of the top stars in the company. LAS VEGAS &#8211; AUGUST 24: Wrestlers and tag team partners Chris Jericho (L) and Big Show appear in the ring during the WWE Monday Night Raw show at the Thomas &amp; Mack Center August 24, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) Chris became the first undisputed WWF Champion, defeating The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in one night. He would have many iconic feuds in the company ranging from old-timers like Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and The Rock to the new generation like Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens. His ability to reinvent himself saw him excel both as a babyface and a heel. His most recent run with the WWE saw him incorporate things like &#8220;The List&#8221; and his &#8220;stupid idiot&#8221; catchphrase that caught on like wildfire. This was a tremendous example of how Jericho stayed relevant even as times changed. He left the WWE soon after to wrestle for smaller promotions like NJPW and AEW. Jericho has continued to rebuild himself even in the twilight of his career, and therefore, he is so respected.

(Photo by Masashi Hara/Getty Images) Jericho holds many records in the WWE. He is a six-time world champion, having won the Undisputed WWF Championship within the WWF/WWE, along with winning the WCW/World Championship twice and the World Heavyweight Championship three times. He has also held the WWE Intercontinental Championship a record nine times and was the ninth Triple Crown Champion, and the fourth Grand Slam Champion in history. Chris Jericho is also a two-time United States Champion and a two-time tag team champion. He is also the first-ever AEW World Champion. Jericho has also held the IWGP Intercontinental Championship in NJPW. That further placed him as the foremost wrestler in the world. These victories increase his standing on the greatness meter.

(Photo by Kevin Nixon/Metal Hammer Magazine/Future via Getty Images/Future via Getty Images) Jericho&#8217;s net worth in 2022 is estimated to be $18 million. This comes from diverse sources of income, like professional wrestling, his band, and books. His current salary stands at $500,000 per annum as of 2022. Chris Jericho Podcast Chris Jericho, WWE wrestler and lead singer of Fozzy (Photo by Kirby Lee/WireImage) Chris also hosts a very popular podcast. This doesn&#8217;t come as a surprise considering his extremely charismatic real-life personality. Called &#8216;Talk Is Jericho&#8217;, it began in December 2013. He also hosts professional wrestlers, former WWE stars, rock stars, and other notable personalities on his podcast. It originally appeared on PodcastOne before moving to the Westwood One network in 2018. The podcast has featured famous guests like AEW Champion Jon Moxley, adding to its ever-present intrigue.

<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.

[caption id="attachment_1815690" align="aligncenter" width="1486"]<img class="wp-image-1815690 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0006336558h.jpg" alt="CM Punk net worth" width="1486" height="1920" /> Credits: Imago[/caption]

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.

[caption id="attachment_1815695" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1815695 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago0013342344h.jpg" alt="CM Punk" width="1920" height="1344" /> Credits: Imago[/caption]

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.
