In a recent appearance on the “Drinks with Johnny” podcast, Corey Glover, the lead singer of Living Colour, stated that CM Punk refused to use any other theme song but “Cult of Personality” during his tenure in WWE.
Although Glover did not mention the specific time frame of this situation, it is worth noting that Punk did not incorporate this particular theme song into his WWE persona until 2011.
Glover said, “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.”
Punk returned to WWE at the 2023 Survivor Series: WarGames pay-per-view event this past November.
