According to MMA insider Front Row Brian, CM Punk and Colt Cabana are no longer friends, and the two former WWE talents are no longer following each other on Twitter.
Brian notes, in the Tweets below, that Cabana apparently attended a WWE Raw taping, and went backstage and took photos with people, which angered CM Punk as he is amidst a defamation lawsuit with WWE Dr. Chris Amann.

For those who don’t remember, back in February 2015, Amann filed a defamation of character lawsuit against both CM Punk and Colt Cabana, stemming from comments the two made on an episode of Cabana’s “Art of Wrestling” podcast.
Punk reportedly feels Cabana attending a WWE Raw event and going backstage and taking photos hurts Punk’s defense in the case, and Cabana’s actions have apparently cost him his friendship with Punk. As noted, Dr. Chris Amann is seeking $1 million in compensatory damages as well as an undetermined amount of punitive damages in the lawsuit.
