Colt Cabana Apologised To Ryback For Former WWE Star CM Punk
In the world of professional wrestling, controversies are as common a place as body slams and suplexes. One such controversy that left a trail of strained friendships and legal battles involved CM Punk, Colt Cabana, and the outspoken Ryback. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of this contentious episode, focusing on Colt Cabana’s apology to Ryback over CM Punk’s statements in a podcast that spiralled into a lawsuit.
The Podcast That Changed Everything
CM Punk, the straight-shooting voice of the wrestling world, made waves when he appeared on Colt Cabana’s “Art of Wrestling” podcast. This seemingly candid interview would take a tumultuous turn, as it not only had legal repercussions but also strained the relationship between Punk and Cabana.
The podcast featured CM Punk discussing his WWE departure and unleashing a barrage of criticism, including allegations against WWE’s doctor, Chris Amann. These comments would eventually lead to a lawsuit filed by Dr. Amann against both Punk and Cabana.
The fallout and legal battle
While the lawsuit was eventually won by Punk and Cabana, the ordeal took a toll on their friendship. It’s worth noting that Colt Cabana was merely the host of the podcast, and he found himself entangled in a legal battle not of his making.
Ryback, another WWE superstar with a history of friction with CM Punk, recently addressed the situation on a live stream. He didn’t mince words when it came to Punk’s behaviour during and after the podcast interview. Ryback accused Punk of manipulation and revealed that Cabana had reached out to him with an apology.
“Colt Cabana saw me at an event, and he came up and apologised to me. He just apologised for what Punk said about me on his podcast and made up the lies. He came up to me and apologised to me that that ever happened.”
Ryback’s account sheds light on the aftermath of the podcast, where Punk made critical comments about Ryback’s in-ring style, branding him a “stiff worker” who took years off his career. These remarks not only led to a tarnished reputation but also perpetuated a narrative about Ryback that affected his wrestling career.
CM Punk’s Wrestling Future
While the dust has mostly settled on the legal battle and strained relationships stemming from the podcast, the pro wrestling world remains curious about CM Punk’s future in the squared circle. Despite his rocky past, CM Punk remains an enigmatic figure whose return to professional wrestling is a topic of perennial interest.
As the years go by, there’s a lingering question: if and when CM Punk decides to step back into the wrestling ring, which promotion will be fortunate enough to host his comeback? This question remains unanswered, leaving fans speculating about the potential dream matches and storylines that could unfold.
Conclusion
The podcast that featured CM Punk on Colt Cabana’s “Art of Wrestling” may have ignited legal battles, ended friendships, and tarnished reputations, but it also serves as a testament to the tumultuous nature of the wrestling industry. Ryback’s revelation about Colt Cabana’s apology sheds light on the behind-the-scenes fallout from Punk’s controversial statements.
As the wrestling world keeps an eye on CM Punk’s future endeavours, one can’t help but wonder if he’ll once again step into the squared circle and which promotion will have the privilege of hosting this wrestling enigma. The wrestling universe continues to evolve, and controversies, apologies, and reconciliations are part and parcel of this ever-changing landscape.
