CM Punk, born Phillip Jack Brooks, is a professional wrestler known for his notable success across multiple major wrestling organizations, including WWE, AEW, and Ring of Honor (ROH). He is a seven-time world champion, having held the WWE Championship twice, the World Heavyweight Championship three times, the ECW Championship once, the AEW World Championship twice, and the ROH World Championship once[1][2][4]. Punk began his mainstream career in WWE's ECW brand in 2006 and quickly rose to prominence, becoming the 19th WWE Triple Crown Champion—the fastest in WWE history to achieve this feat, doing so in 203 days[2]. His 2011 "pipe bomb" promo, in which he voiced candid criticisms of WWE and vowed not to renew his contract, is considered one of the most influential moments in modern wrestling, cementing his legacy. During his WWE tenure, he also won the Intercontinental and World Tag Team Championships, with his tag partner being Kofi Kingston[5]. Punk won the Money in the Bank ladder match twice (2008, 2009) and was named WWE Superstar of the Year in 2011. His 434-day WWE Championship reign is among the longest in history[2][4]. After a seven-year wrestling hiatus, Punk returned in 2021 to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he quickly became a top star. He won the AEW World Championship twice and was involved in high-profile feuds, including a notable rivalry with MJF. In 2022, Punk was inducted into the ROH Hall of Fame[1][3][4]. Outside wrestling, he also competed in mixed martial arts under the UFC banner. As of late 2025, CM Punk remains a significant figure in professional wrestling, though recent injuries have sidelined him intermittently. His career is marked by his in-ring skills, microphone ability, and influence on wrestling culture across multiple promotions[1][4][6].
