Phillip Jack Brooks (born October 26, 1978, Chicago, Illinois, United States) is an American professional wrestler, sports commentator actor and mixed martial arts who is best known for his time with the WWE under his in-ring name CM Punk. He is currently signed to AEW as a wrestler and Cage Fury Fighting Championships as a commentator. He is best known for his time in WWE, where his 434-day reign as WWE Champion stands as the sixth-longest in the championship’s history.

Punk was born in Chicago, the son of a housewife and an engineer. He has five siblings. He attended Lockport Township High School. His father struggled with alcoholism, which inspired him to follow a straight edge lifestyle from an early age; his mother suffered from bipolar disorder, causing him to become estranged from her.

Punk began his professional wrestling career in 1999 on the independent circuit, mainly with Ring of Honor (ROH), winning the ROH World Championship once. He signed with World Wrestling Entertainment in 2005 and won the WWE Championship twice, the World Heavyweight Championship three times, and the Intercontinental Championship and the ECW World Heavyweight Championship once each. The Straight Edge superstar also won the World Tag Team Championship, becoming WWE’s 19th Triple Crown Champion and in the process became the fastest wrestler to achieve this feat, in 203 days. 

Punk is also the only back-to-back Money in the Bank winner and headlined several WWE pay-per-view events, won Superstar of the Year at the 2011 Slammy Awards, and was voted Wrestler of the Year in 2011 and 2012 by readers of Pro Wrestling Illustrated. After retiring from professional wrestling, Punk pursued a career as a mixed martial artist, and he signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship where he did not have much success. He has since signed with AEW.
