CM Punk and Colt Cabana’s 15+ year friendship is apparently over, according to MMA insider Front Row Brian. Brian, who is usually spot on with his news and has tons of contacts in MMA and pro wrestling, noted on twitter that Colt Cabana and Punk no longer follow each other on twitter and that Punk went nuts after he learned that Cabana attended a Monday Night Raw show and went backstage. Apparently, Cabana took photos and Punk was not happy about that and Punk apparently believes that Cabana being backstage at Raw hurts his defense against WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann.


Punk and Cabana were sued last year by Amann after Punk went on Cabana’s podcast and ripped on WWE and Amann for the way WWE handled his injuries while he was still working for them. The case is ongoing and the last we heard was that there was a trial call date set for May 21, 2018, so it will be a long time before this case is settled.


Punk and Cabana’s friendship dates back to the late 1990s when they first broke into the business in the Chicago area. Hornswoggle recently noted in a shoot interview with Kayfabe Commentaries that his 10+ year friendship with Punk ended after Punk got upset when Swoggle asked Punk for a phone number of a mutual friend. Swoggle said that Punk took that as him using his friendship to get a phone number out of him and that was the end of the friendship.

I can't believe I was ever a Punk fan. What was I thinking?

Punk sounds more and more like a complete douchebag the more I hear about his real life self.

I never truly "got" CM Punk. I think he's a pretty good wrestler but nowhere near as good as a Seth Rollins. I did enjoy his "pipe bomb"-era promos, and the whole program with Cena where Punk's contract expired with him as champion was awesome.

But in real life, he's a dick. He complains about the heat he got in WWE developmental, but conveniently forgets that most of the heat on him was due to him sleeping with most of the developmental women. If you think that's not a big deal and none of their business, think about what the morale in your office would be like if there was one guy serially sleeping with the women you work with. It wouldn't be great, that's for sure. He complains about how WWE used him, but holy crap the whole aforementioned "pipe bomb" stuff was something they let him do. They let him hold the WWE championship for over 400 days. They paid him extremely well, enough that he could up and leave and go play "UFC Fantasy Camp" (TM FreebirdSTF), and then he pissed all over them on the way out. They did all this even though he wasn't the "company guy".

As for the lawsuit, I can understand he might be upset with Cabana for going backstage, but let's be honest, he's not considering that Cabana has nowhere near the money Punk has, and probably would like to get himself out of that situation entirely rather than be bankrupted. The story that Hornswoggle noted is frankly just bizarre, and only furthers the fact that Punk is a dick to his friends as well as the people he considers his enemies.

I hope he gets his face kicked off. :-)

I give him all the credit in the world for fighting (assuming this fight happens) because he certainly doesn't have to do it, but he's a guy that is hard to root for.

He really sounds like an insufferable tool
