Corey Glover talks CM Punk securing Cult Of Personality in WWE.
Since 2011, Punk has used the song in his stints with both WWE and AEW. Punk also used the song as his walkout music during his time with the UFC.
While speaking to the Drinks With Johnny podcast for a new interview, Glover, singer of Living Colour, talked about an instance where Punk refused to have any song that wasn't Cult Of Personality as his theme music.
“Back in the day when Punk was first going to WWE, they’re like, ‘Okay, so we’re gonna get you your own entrance music.’ He’s like, ‘No, I already have my own entrance music.’ He made it a point that I’m not changing my entrance music cause they had their own music division of the WWE and they were gonna have somebody make up a song that sounded similar to Cult Of Personality and that would be his entrance music. ‘No, I don’t want that, I want the real song.’ He’s one of the talent that has got that in his contract that wherever he goes, it goes with him.”
Glover did not specify when this instance actually occured, as Punk did not use Cult Of Personality when he first went to WWE in 2005.
Punk is currently out of action due to the triceps injury that he suffered at the Royal Rumble premium live event. Fightful will update fans when more is known about his return to the ring.
Despite not being able to compete, Punk still appears on television frequently to further his feud with Drew McIntyre. McIntyre recently stated that Punk makes references that only basement dwellers would understand. Learn more about those comments here.
