#4. CM Punk can reportedly use the 'Cult of Personality' theme in AEW

It has been reported that CM Punk will be able to use his legendary 'Cult of Personality' theme song in AEW.

The report, from Pro Wrestling Insider cited that WWE only licensed the song for CM Punk's time in WWE and therefore had no exclusivity and lost the rights to usage of the song once Punk departed the company after WWE Royal Rumble 2014.

CM Punk used Killswitch Engage's 'This Fire Burns' in the initial years of his run in WWE before switching to 'Cult of Personality' in 2011. The song is now firmly associated with the Chicago native and news of him being able to use it will come as a delight to everyone looking forward to his AEW debut.

So if CM Punk does indeed debut in AEW, he can use Cult of Personality. The pop.
