Alright, so I was browsing some wrestling forums the other day, and this question popped up: “How many times has CM Punk won the WWE Championship?” I thought, “Hey, I’m a huge wrestling fan, I should know this!” But then I realized, I wasn’t 100% sure. So, I decided to do a little digging and document my findings.
My Research Process
First, I hit up my go-to source for all things wrestling which has a pretty comprehensive database. I typed in “CM Punk” and started scrolling through his profile.
It took a bit of navigating, I had to wade through a bunch of his other accomplishments, like his rivalries, his moves, that sort of thing. The site was a little clunky, to be honest. Lots of clicking and scrolling.
Finally, I found the section listing his championship reigns. I started counting, making sure I only focused on the WWE Championship, not any of the other titles.
Here’s a list that I put together:
- WWE Championship: Find the specific section, and I will count it.
- World Heavyweight Championship:I found this one, too many to skip it.
- ECW World Heavyweight Championship:I needed to make sure I only focused on WWE ones.
- Others:There were some others, I also needed to skip.
Okay, I finished up counting.
So there you have it – CM Punk has won the WWE Championship twice, and the World Heavyweight Championship three times! It was a fun little exercise, made me appreciate the detailed records.
