After CM Punk left WWE in 2014, he stayed quiet for several months, but eventually he opened up and told his side of the story on Colt Cabana’s podcast The Art of Wrestling. Punk made some less than flattering comments about WWE doctor Chris Amann, and Amann later filed a lawsuit against CM Punk and Colt Cabana.
Colt Cabana recently appeared on Live Audio Wrestling, and he confirmed that not only is the lawsuit ongoing, it’s also costing him a lot of money.
“The update is that it’s still going on, it’s costing me a lot of money, and that’s the extent that my lawyers will allow me to talk. So nothing breaking here, but just do know that it’s always on my mind, it’s always a very sad thing. And I’ve talked to other podcasters… it’s kind of changed the way that it’s worked and realizing that this is a reality that you can host a show and get sued for it. It’s always in the back of my mind now, which is a little upsetting. But that’s the way of the world, I guess.”
After he was attacked by Shane McMahon on SmackDown Live a few weeks ago, Kevin Owens was walking around saying that he was going to file a lawsuit against WWE.
When Owens came face to face with Vince McMahon in the ring, Vince mocked Owens and told him that he would go bankrupt if he went up against him in court.
Cabana admitted that he did see the segment, and he felt it hit a little too close to home.
“I watched it a couple days afterwards and a little bit of me wanted to make gifs and little videos of him saying something about lawsuits and that kind of stuff. I mean, I don’t know. Punk and I, we didn’t do a lawsuit. We’re getting sued. But it did hit a little home, and of course made me a little sad.”
