CM Punk is a retired professional wrestler and mixed martial artist. He is a two-time WWE champion. Punk’s tryst with wrestling started in the most unexpected way. What started as a fun activity eventually became his chosen career path. His career as a professional wrestler started on the American independent circuit with the ‘Ring of Honor.’ It was in 2005 that he inked a deal with ‘World Wrestling Entertainment’ (WWE), a collaboration that lasted over a decade. During his time in WWE, he won several championships, including the ‘WWE Championship’ twice and ‘WWE World Heavyweight Championship’ thrice. His popularity increased when he became the longest-reigning WWE champion of modern era, surpassing John Cena’s record of 380 days. His reign as the WWE champion lasted 434 days from November 20, 2011 to January 27, 2013, thus becoming WWE’s sixth-longest-reigning champion of all time. He is currently signed to ‘Ultimate Fighting Championship’ (UFC) and ‘Cage Fury Fighting Championships’ (CFFC). While he competes in the welterweight division in UFC, he works as a commentator for CFFC.
