Phillip Jack Brooks[7] (born on October 26, 1978),[2] better known by his ring name CM Punk, is an American professional wrestler currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on its SmackDown brand where he is the reigning World Heavyweight Champion.
In professional wrestling, Punk is a four time world champion, having won the ROH World Championship while in Ring of Honor, the ECW Championship while in ECW, the World Heavyweight Championship immediately after being drafted to Raw and again after being drafted to SmackDown. In addition to these championships Punk has also won the World Tag Team Championship (with Kofi Kingston), and the WWE Intercontinental Championship making him the nineteenth WWE Triple Crown Champion.
Punk initially came to prominence through his career on the professional wrestling independent circuit, primarily as a member of the Ring of Honor (ROH) roster, where he was an ROH Tag Team Champion, ROH World Champion, and the first head trainer of the ROH wrestling school. In 2005, Punk signed a contract with WWE and was sent to its developmental federation, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), where he won every championship available in the federation.
Throughout his career, Punk has consistently used the gimmick of being straight edge, a lifestyle he follows in real life.[4] Depending on alignment as a crowd favorite or villain, different aspects of the culture are emphasized to encourage the desired audience reaction.[4]
