10 Times WWE Totally Blew It With CM Punk
3. WWE Literally Make Punk Sick
Punk was not a happy camper in his final year at WWE.
While this frustration led to moments of unintentional brilliance (check out "CM Punk laughing" on youtube to see him corpse during Stephanie McMahon's hyperbolic paean to Triple H), by and large Punk was dog-tired, world-weary and just plain sick of the WWE.
He was also sick in the WWE, which had major repercussions.
After Punk walked out of the company in 2014, he blasted WWE's resident doctor Chris Amann, claiming that the latter repeatedly diagnosed a staph infection as a "fatty deposit". Amann sued Punk for ONE...MILLION...DOLLARS, claiming Punk's statements had jeopardised his career.
Seeing as Dr. Amann remains employed by the WWE to this day, it's safe to say his career is doing just fine. The jury for the case agreed, siding in favour of Punk.
Amann's lawsuit obviously put CM Punk under a great deal of stress (he broke down in tears at its conclusion), but you can understand why Amann felt compelled to make his case. Less understandable were WWE's actions in the next entry...
