If the name Chris Amann sounds familiar, that’s because he was the doctor who, alongside WWE, took CM Punk and Colt Cabana to court following comments made during Punk’s 2014 appearance on Cabana’s The Art of Wrestling podcast.

That trial saw Amann seeking over $1 million in damages, claiming that Punk and Cabana had defamed him during their podcast chat. After a lengthy three-year process, jurors eventually sided with the Second City Saint and Boom Boom – although this whole situation led to the dissolution of the long-time friendship between CM Punk and Colt Cabana.
