Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has had quite a memorable history in the Royal Rumble match and has even tasted victory in the coveted event. In the PPV as a whole, however, it may be quite an affair to forget for the big man. Many fans may remember the showdown between The Rock and CM Punk at Royal Rumble 2013. The match was a normal fight for the WWE Championship with no adverse stipulation. However, the two took each other to the limit. [https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BYWRmMGZiZTYtYzlkOS00ODVkLTgxMDAtZGRiNjliNDAyZDU4XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzQzNDM3NTI@._V1_.jpg] In a bizarre moment during the fight, ‘The Brahma Bull’ [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/] had Punk poised for a Rock Bottom atop the commentary table. The crowd was about to feel the electricity when the table…gave way. The Rock and CM Punk [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cm-punk/] both fell flat down due to the table collapsing prematurely. The box-like desk could not stand the weight of the two stars and folded under the pressure. Neither of the stars was badly injured and thankfully made to finish the match. If you look closely, The Rock had a dumbstruck look on his face. This can be attributed to him realizing it had happened before. DWAYNE “THE ROCK” JOHNSON WAS INVOLVED IN THE SAME SPOT IN 1999! Throwing it back to 1999, The Rock faced off against his legendary rival “Mankind” Mick Foley [https://www.wwe.com/superstars/mick-foley] in a Last Man Standing match. The fight was a typical representation of the spontaneity of the Attitude Era and had the fans on their feet the entire time. Rock vs Mankind 'I Quit' match was the moment WWE Attitude Era went too far [https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/NINTCHDBPICT000464034308.jpg] At a high point in the match, The Rock had his foe ready for a Rock Bottom, and you can probably guess that the table folded. Both stars went crashing down in what was a hilarious scene. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been involved in two commentary table collapses while delivering a Rock Bottom. What’s even better is that the match against Mankind took place at Royal Rumble 1999! This means that he was on the unfortunate end of the same botch at the same event in the same spot! This is only a fragment of excitement that has taken place in the life of Dwayne Johnson, who recently struggled to fit into a car due to his muscular size.

<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.

[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.
