CM Punk Says Vince McMahon Is “Bankrolling” Lawsuit Against Him
CM Punk indicated that his former boss, Vince McMahon, is funding WWE Dr. Chris Amann’s lawsuit against Punk and Colt Cabana over comments made during their infamous podcast that was done shortly after Punk left the company.
It’s always possible there’s some other lawsuit that we don’t know about but it appears Punk was referencing the lawsuit from Dr. Amann, which doesn’t go to trial until 2018. When asked if Punk has received any words of encouragement from Vince McMahon, he said:
“Do me and Vince text? No, he’s currently bankrolling a lawsuit against me, so I don’t think he’s going to be reaching out. ‘Hey pal, how ya doing? I’m suing you, LOL!'”
