Well, this whole thing between CM Punk and Colt Cabana, lemme tell ya, it’s like a soap opera, just with more wrestling tights and less sense. Them two used to be tighter than a knot in a fishing net, best buddies all the way back from the early wrestling days. But now? Oh, they don’t even talk to each other. So, what happened? Pull up a chair, I’m gonna try to make sense of it.
Friends From the Start, But Not Anymore
CM Punk and Colt Cabana, they were good pals once upon a time. Back in the day, they started wrestling together, looked out for each other, y’know? But things started going south after that big lawsuit with WWE. See, CM Punk, he went on Colt’s podcast, “Art of Wrestling,” and spilled all his complaints about WWE. Said all kinds of things about the doctors and medical staff. Well, WWE didn’t like that, not one bit. They took both of ‘em to court over it!
The lawsuit wasn’t easy or cheap, lemme tell ya. It dragged on for years, and the legal bills just kept stacking up like a pile of hay in the barn. Now, Colt thought Punk would help him pay them fees since, y’know, they were in it together. But Punk? He apparently didn’t see it that way. They started fighting about money, blaming each other for them high legal fees. That’s when the friendship really started to crack. Ain’t no better way to ruin a friendship than money troubles, right?
The AEW Drama That Fueled the Fire
So after all that WWE mess, they still weren’t talking. But things took another turn when both of ‘em ended up in AEW. Now, this is where the rumors start flying. People started saying that CM Punk didn’t want Colt Cabana around AEW. Some fans and wrestling insiders believe Punk had a hand in pushing Colt off AEW TV. They think Punk, who had a lot of sway in AEW at the time, maybe didn’t want to see his old friend and lawsuit buddy hanging around. Now, no one’s confirmed this for sure, but fans sure got a lot to say about it.
Colt Cabana, bless his heart, eventually got back on AEW screens by 2023. But even then, the old friends stayed apart. They’re like two stray cats who once shared a bowl of milk but now just hiss at each other across the yard. Both of ‘em still got their wrestling careers going, but don’t expect ‘em to be sharing a ring anytime soon. CM Punk and Colt Cabana are keeping as much distance as they can.
Public Drama and Fans’ Reactions
Oh, fans, they love drama as much as the next person. They’ve been following every bit of this fallout like it’s their favorite TV show. Online, you’ll see folks choosing sides, some saying Colt got done dirty, others saying Punk’s just looking out for himself. Ain’t no shortage of opinions out there, that’s for sure. Punk, especially, has gotten a reputation for being a bit hard-headed. He’s been in public feuds before, so some folks aren’t too surprised he fell out with Colt. Colt, on the other hand, tends to keep quieter, but even he couldn’t avoid getting wrapped up in this mess.
Is There Any Chance of Them Making Up?
Well, now, let’s be real. A friendship that’s broken over money and lawsuits? Hard to imagine they’d just kiss and make up, especially with how public it all got. Both of ‘em have gone their own ways, and it don’t look like they’re in any hurry to change that. Punk’s had his hands full with other issues in AEW, and Colt, he’s just focusing on his wrestling.
So, there ya have it. CM Punk and Colt Cabana, once friends, now about as distant as two people can get in the same wrestling world. It started with some harsh words on a podcast, then legal fees, and finally, maybe a little backstage meddling in AEW. Not exactly the fairytale ending for two old friends, but hey, that’s wrestling for ya. Drama’s just part of the show, and fans eat it up every time.
And who knows? Maybe someday they’ll find a way to patch things up, but for now, that’s the story of CM Punk and Colt Cabana’s big falling out. Ain’t a pretty one, but it’s the truth best as I can tell it.
