Update on WWE Doctor’s Lawsuit Against CM Punk & Colt Cabana: Lawyers for the Defense File Motion to Get Case Thrown Out

September 2, 2015

cm punk According to The Wrestling Observer, lawyers for CM Punk and Colt Cabana recently filed a motion to get WWE Dr. Chris Amann’s defamation lawsuit against them thrown out.

The lawsuit stems from comments Cabana and Punk made during an episode of Cabana’s “Art of Wrestling” podcast, and the defense is arguing that Cabana was acting as a member of the media interviewing CM Punk and that Punk never specifically named the WWE doctor in question.

While there were two specific mentions of Amann’s name during the podcast, CM Punk never mentioned Amann’s name in connection with the staph infection that he said was misdiagnosed by a WWE “doc”.

Despite Punk and Cabana’s motions to have the case thrown out, a judge ordered the case will continue, and both sides were told to enter Discovery, which is when both sides of the suit gather pre-trial evidence.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
