Phillip Jack Brooks (born October 26, 1978), better known by his ring name CM Punk, is an American professional wrestler and actor. As of November 2023, he is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand. Brooks is known for his outspoken and confrontational straight edge persona, which is based on his real-life experiences. His 434-day reign as WWE Champion is the 11th-longest world title reign in WWE history.
Brooks began his wrestling career on the independent circuit in 1997. He joined Ring of Honor (ROH) in 2002, winning the ROH World Championship once, and was inducted into the ROH Hall of Fame in 2022. Brooks joined WWE in 2005 and won the World Heavyweight Championship three times, the ECW Championship, the WWE Intercontinental Championship, the WWE Championship twice, and the World Tag Team Championship once each. Brooks also won the Money in the Bank ladder match in 2008 and 2009 (making him its only back-to-back winner), was named Superstar of the Year at the 2011 Slammy Awards, and was voted PWI Wrestler of the Year in 2011 and 2012. After acrimoniously leaving WWE in 2014, Brooks retired from wrestling but returned in 2021 when he joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he won the AEW World Championship twice. Brooks was fired in September 2023 after backstage controversies, including with AEW president and CEO Tony Khan, and returned to WWE two months later, where he won the World Heavyweight Championship twice.
