About
CM Punk built a 434-day WWE Championship reign that ranks among the company's longest title holds, anchoring his status as one of wrestling's most volatile draws. Born Phillip Jack Brooks on October 26, 1978, in the US, he mixed professional wrestling with acting roles in horror films and the drama series Heels. His straight-edge persona—rooted in real sobriety—became inseparable from his confrontational in-ring work. Scorpio intensity fuels his unpredictability both as competitor and public figure.

Biography
Phillip Jack Brooks, known as CM Punk, spent over two decades cycling between wrestling's biggest promotions and smaller stages, each departure marked by public conflict. He won ROH's world title once before joining WWE in 2005, where he captured the World Heavyweight Championship three times, the WWE Championship twice, the ECW Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, and the World Tag Team Championship. His Money in the Bank wins in 2008 and 2009 made him the only back-to-back victor of that ladder match. After leaving WWE acrimoniously in 2014, he retired from wrestling until joining All Elite Wrestling in 2021, where he won the AEW World Championship twice before being fired in September 2023 following backstage disputes with AEW president Tony Khan. He returned to WWE two months later and won the World Heavyweight Championship twice more. Outside wrestling, Brooks fought twice in UFC's welterweight division, losing both bouts (2016, 2018) before retiring from MMA in August 2021. His film and television work includes the horror movies Rabid, Girl on the Third Floor, and Jakob's Wife, the animated comedy Zootopia 2, the wrestling drama Heels, and the crime series Mayans M.C.. He was named Superstar of the Year at the 2011 Slammy Awards and voted PWI Wrestler of the Year in 2011 and 2012. A Scorpio born in 1978, his confrontational persona mirrors an astrological reputation for intensity. As an actor and professional wrestler, he operates across genres—horror, comedy, animation, and crime drama—while maintaining wrestling's largest stages. His American identity grounds his career across domestic wrestling circuits and mainstream entertainment.
★ ORIGIN
Before Fame
Brooks began wrestling on the independent circuit in 1997 before joining Ring of Honor in 2002, where he won the ROH World Championship and was later inducted into the promotion's Hall of Fame in 2022. His early work on smaller stages built the straight-edge persona that would define him across larger promotions.
