CM Punk (real name Phillip Jack Brooks) is an American professional wrestler and actor, widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He is known for his outspoken, rebellious, and confrontational "straight edge" persona, which is based on his real-life commitment to a drug- and alcohol-free lifestyle.
Key points about his career:
He is best known for his time in *WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment)**, where he had a celebrated career from 2005 to 2014, and made a dramatic return in late 2023.
He is a multiple-time World Champion in WWE, including a *434-day reign as WWE Champion**, which is one of the longest in modern history.
He is often credited with igniting a shift in the wrestling landscape with his *"pipe bomb" promo** in 2011, where he broke the fourth wall and voiced frustrations with the company and its hierarchy, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.
He also had notable runs in other major promotions, including *Ring of Honor (ROH)** and All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he was a two-time AEW World Champion.
Between his two major WWE runs, he briefly pursued a career in *Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)**, competing in the UFC.
His signature catchphrase is *"I'm the Best in the World"** and his finisher is the G.T.S. (Go to Sleep).
