CM Punk walked out from WWE following the Royal Rumble all got fired depending
on which side of the fence you want to fall on and then did a tell-all episode
of the art of wrestling with his then good friend Colt Cabana later in the
year the episode was so popular and downloaded that it crashed cabañas
podcast service during the episode punk not only detailed the issues he had with
his final few years in WWE but also made allegations against the company's doctor
Chris a man who he claimed misdiagnosed a staph infection On February 16 2015 it
was announced that a man was suing both Punk and Cabana over defamation of
character which was dragged out for an extended period of time finally going to
trial just two months ago pumpkin Cabana won that suit and all
seemed well between the two although they had a falling out in 2016 cult said
in an interview that the two were cordial during the trial
however it's now been revealed by the Chicago sun-times that Colt Cabana is
suing CM Punk for breach of contract and fraud the lawsuit is asking the punk
Baker banner $200,000 in general damages and 1 million dollars in punitive and
exemplary damages but how did we get here the legal documents filed by
cabanas attorneys on August 7th revealed that around mid-december 2014 grissom
man reached - Cabana via email about the art of
wrestling episode with CM Punk and asked him to take it down according to
governor he texted Punk about a man's email and Punk told him that his legal
team at Loeb and Loeb would handle it Cabana received a letter from a man's
representatives on December 16th that again asked for the episode to be taken
down and punk again told him not to Cabana claims that he has a text message
from CM Punk which assures him that he will be 100% covered in this matter
when a man filed his lawsuit against Punk and Cabana in February 2015 the
pair were both represented by Punk's attorney sunny Brewer and allegedly
signed an agreement to build Punk for all the legal services and expenses that
we incur with respect to the a man lawsuit and that it was his
understanding that punk will be responsible for paying these invoices
despite this in April 2016 Punk sends an email to Cabana asking him to pay half
of the legal fees the email reads to date I have spent five hundred and
thirteen thousand seven hundred and thirty six dollars on this a man lawsuit
my outstanding current bill is at least three hundred thousand dollars half of
all of this is yours divide the 513 thousand seven hundred and thirty six by
two and that is what you owe me and what I expect you to pay me starting now I
will no longer be paying your bills you are on your own whatever my bill it is
currently will be cut in half and half will be yours if you choose to make this
ugly that's fine too I hope you won't but I gave up on you doing what is right
a long time ago after this email cabanas suit says that in May 2016 he decided to
get different representation for the Amann trial but Punk and Brennan
suggested that he not changed counsel in an email Brennan wrote - despite your
unwillingness to contribute to your legal fees I am still prepared to
represent you punk is prepared to have me represent you and cover your legal
fees going forward as long as there is no conflict between you and Punk that
prevents me from fairly and ethically representing you at this time I don't
believe any such conflict exists Cabana says that he agreed to keep Brennan on
his counsel but was then informed in March 2017 that was no longer the case
he alleges in his suit punk caused the Loeb firm to withdraw as cabanas counsel
in the Amman lawsuit Cabana was then represented by Cory Stein from Ashman
and Stein and when they won the suit against him
Stein demanded reimbursement of approximately $200,000 from Punk as per
their initial agreement from February 2015
CM Punk refused the lawsuit file says that Cabana is suing Punk over breach of
that contract and fraud claiming that Punk made promises to Cabana and that he
deliberately failed or refused to inform Cabana that he had no intention of
performing them the lawsuit as Punk acted with fraud malice and oppression
towards Cabana with the deliberate intention of causing Cabana harm Cabana
claimed in the lawsuit that if he had replied to either a man's emails or
letters from December 2014 which Punk told him not to he would have not
incurred the costs expenses or losses he did from the defamation trial big shout
outs of the team at wrestling Inc for getting the quotes from cabanas lawsuit
