Anuj Jacob is a pro-wrestling journalist at EssentiallySports. Anuj holds a B.Sc. in psychology and comes from a background in print journalism and creative writing. As an active pro-wrestler, commentator, and announcer, this wrestling aficionado has a vocabulary in the sport like no other.

Anuj’s vivid articulation of the beauty of this sport is brought to the fore with his commentary on the ever-changing dynamic of wrestling storytelling and the ever-growing separation between fiction and reality. Don’t be surprised if he’s rambling about how black and gold NXT was as good as wrestling gets or if he makes a compelling case for why Samoa Joe is the most complete modern wrestler. When not writing wrestling media, he draws inspiration from comic books, animation, and video games. He balances his appetite for violence with table-top board games on Sundays.

One thing that fans can’t ignore is CM Punk’s love for three things. His pet dog Larry, pro wrestling, and pop culture. His social media is full of either Larry’s photos or panels from various comics. However, it is not just comics that he loves, he is a movie buff as well. Following the 2024 Royal Rumble, the star is out of action due to a tricep tear, thanks to the Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre. But between physical rehabilitation and his comics, Punk was able to make time to attend the premiere of Sydney Sweeney’s latest movie following her Madam Webb disaster. CM PUNK MAKES SURE TO ATTEND THE PREMIERE In an Instagram story [https://www.instagram.com/stories/travisstevens/3324823025646913043/?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igsh=MXA3OHZyOXJtczQ3dA] posted by American Judo Martial Artist, Travis Stevens, the Second City Saint [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cm-punk] could be seen in a movie theatre. In the clip, Stevens records Sweeney coming down the stairs towards the screen. Along with that, Punk could be seen checking his phone. The premiere is of the movie ‘Immaculate’. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/CM-Punk-AEW.png] Immaculate happens to be the Euphoria star’s latest horror/thriller movie. The rated-R movie follows the life of a nun named Cecilia. The convent moves to a picture-perfect town in Italy. However, things start to take a hard left after she realizes her new home harbors a dark secret. The movie could be to his taste considering how much Punk loves this genre. Whether it be posting about Dracula or Frankenstein’s Monster, or spotting hooligans [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-cm-punk-posts-recent-pic-of-sasha-banks-in-hoodie-shades-amidst-rumors-of-her-royal-rumble-twenty-twenty-four-return/], he does have things for this genre. While it might not exactly be his taste, it might serve as a way of a change in routine during his recovery.

The question is when will CM Punk return to the ring. But worry not, as we have an update on that as well. WHEN IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD RETURNING TO WWE? According to a recent update by WWE, CM Punk will be present at the 03/18 episode of Monday Night Raw which will be held in Chicago, Illinois. While his purpose hasn’t been declared by anyone yet, there are a few speculations among the fans. First off, there is a strong belief that he will have a word with either Cody Rhodes or Drew McIntyre or both. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Cody-Rhodes-CM-Punk.jpeg] The reason why he will talk with Rhodes could be to warn the American Nightmare that Seth Rollins can’t be trusted. He will try to remind him of his history, especially with the Shield. And with Drew McIntyre, he might just want to remind him that he will be coming after McIntyre if he wins at WrestleMania 40. Are you excited to see CM Punk next week? Let us know in the comments below.

<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 Punk’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 the 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 Punk’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 Punk’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.
