“Cult of Personality” has been the theme song for former WWE Champion CM Punk for over a decade. He first introduced the theme to wrestling fans in 2011 when he returned to WWE on an episode of RAW. There, he confronted John Cena following Cena’s victory over Rey Mysterio to win the WWE Championship.
He continued to use the song during his AEW run and upon returning to WWE, he used the remastered version of the song. The band’s gesture resonated with fans, highlighting the impact of Punk’s presence in WWE and the significance of his theme song.
