#1 CM Punk sued for over $1 million

In a surprising turn of events, CM Punk is being sued by his former friend and WWE Superstar, Colt Cabana.

Cabana and Punk, who were named in a defamation lawsuit by WWE doctor Christopher Amann, related to comments the two made about Amann and his mistreatment of an injury to Punk, won the lawsuit earlier this year.

Punk had told Cabana that he would cover the legal cost of the lawsuit, but later sent a message to Cabana stating that he had to pay half of the legal costs.

Cabana is now suing Punk for fraud and breach of contract, and $200,000 in general damages as well as $1 million in punitive damages!
