  • He is perhaps best known for his time in WWE, where his 434-day WWE Championship reign stands as the longest of the 2010s and the sixth-longest in history.

Brooks has used the CM Punk moniker for his entire career, with his character consistently being portrayed as outspoken, confrontational, sharp-tongued, anti-establishment, straight edge, and iconoclastic.
  • Most of the straight edge principles he portrayed are also his real life views.
  • Depending on his alignment as a hero or villain, he emphasized different aspects of the straight edge culture to garner the desired audience reaction.After becoming disillusioned with WWE, Punk retired from professional wrestling in early 2014.
  • He pursued a career in mixed martial arts and was signed by the UFC in December 2014.
  • His first professional fight took place in September 2016 at UFC 203 against Mickey Gall, where he was defeated via submission in the first round.
