In addition to his recent MMA commentary for Cage Fury Fighting Championships, Punk has written numerous comic books, showed how great an analyst he can be during his brief time on WWE Backstage, and has shown off his acting chops in impressive outings such as The Girl on the Third Floor, Jakob's Wife and Jen and Sylvia Soksa's Rabid remake.
