CM Punk has a monumental challenge in front of him at WWE Survivor Series 2025, where he has to take on new enemies and team up with some former rivals in the process. Meanwhile, the current World Heavyweight Champion revealed the true meaning of his in-ring name.
In an old interview with IGN, CM Punk addressed what CM stood for in his name and provided a few options—from Chuck Mosley to Cookie Monster.
