This professional wrestling article is a frequent target for editors to add a week-by-week synopsis of storyline events, unconfirmed information, rumors, and other content inappropriate to an encyclopedic article. Please make sure to familiarize yourself with what Wikipedia is not, and consider whether your additions to this article will serve to make the article larger and harder to edit for style, clarity, and grammar.

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened:

December 7 to 13, 2014 (15th)

Adding his appearance on Jimmy Fallon (18th June 2012) and how it is his first appearance on any kind of talk show.

"Relationship" Rumors / Unsubstantiated / Possibly Fabricated /Pointless Crap / Non-Facts

While it appears that they have some kind of friendship, neither has ever claimed that it was more than that. Also Matt Hardy's comment was that they were not in a relationship not that they had been but it is now over. Whoever wrote this article is greatly stretching the source to say something it doesn't. Also the sun is by no means a reliable source. It's a gossip site. TMZ is more reliable. I work for the AP. We view the sun as a punch line.

Shannon and Tracy are unsubstantiated rumors and should be removed from the article. Beth has claimed that Punk was joking with the interviewer. She claims that she and Punk never dated and she was already with Edge at the time of the alleged relationship. It has already been removed from her Wikipedia page.

Glad to see the Beth part removed, but I think you might have stopped halfway. Neither Punk nor Lita have ever confirmed to be more than friends. Same can be said for Matt Hardy.

Also, Punk has always denied dating women he has worked with. More editing is required. This is an article for verifiable information only.

Not sure why these changes have not been made yet. Even if all of these supposed relationships, other than AJ of course, were real, they do not merit a mention in the article as they are insignificant.

Personal Life

He is a well known fan of the Chicago Bears, Cubs, Blackhawks, and Bulls. He can often be seen wearing a Cubs hat.

He has either 2 or 3 surrogate sisters and is known to not have any contact with his biological family since he was a teen. He calls his friend Chez his sister and her mom his mom. Another sister of his is his "little sister Shaylene" referenced when trash talking Kevin Nash on Raw in Sugust 2011. His family attended extreme rules 2012 in Chicago.

Colt Canana is his best friend and Punk says that he considers him his brother. Kofi Kingston is his "road wife" and travels with him on the wwe tour.

He has stated that he believes TNA to be an indie league. He says his favorite comic book hero is batman because he thinks he is the most relatable.

He is real life friends with WWE superstars Kofi Kingston, The Miz, Zack Ryder, Edge, and Sheamus, as well as Divas Maryse Oulette, AJ Lee, Beth Pheonix, and Eve Torres, along with her fiancé Renner Gracie, son of the UFC founder and owner Rorion Gracie. He refers to Eve as Steve and Maryse as Maurice.

He is well known for his sarcastic nature in interviews. He has appeared at Comic Con in 2011 and 2012.

Punk has stated that he never wanted to be anything other than a professional wrestler. His dream Autitude Era opponent is Stone Cold Steve Austin. He says his favorite wrestlers in childhood were "Macho Man" Randy Savage, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Austin, and HBK Shawn Michaels.

WWE 2008 Tournament win missing from his titles and accomplishments

CM Punk was the winner of an eight man Intercontinental Championship Number One Contender's tournament in 2008 but this is missing from his title's and accomplishments.

Cm punk in Jakob’s Wife

I noticed that “Jakob’s Wife”,a horror film coming soon in 2021, is not in CM Punk’s filmography on his Wikipedia article. He plays a role in the film as Deputy Colton. Radek773 (talk) 21:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Jackson fight result

A number of sources seem to indicate that the fight with Mike Jackson was a no contest.

https://www.espn.co.uk/mma/fighter/_/id/3962508/cm-punk http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/a8c9d16fe2a14d72 https://www.mixedmartialarts.com/fighter/Mike-Jackson:14E635540CF056DA/

When you Google it it says no contest as well.

On the other hand, this Sherdog website still has it as a Jackson win, as does UFC.com

https://www.ufc.com/event/ufc-225#

I can't find any actual news of a reason for it to be overturned, just Reddit posts suggesting it had something to do with a failed drugs test.

Any views on this? Rambo Apocalypse (talk) 00:36, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since it is the official site of the organization we should go with the UFC since they would be in the best position to know if Jackson’s win was revoked.--70.24.249.16 (talk) 20:56, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
