CM Punk Said “Merry Christmas” and Gave Away His WWE Championship

CM Punk, former WWE Champion, is done with World Wrestling Entertainment. Never say never in Vince McMahon’s company, but Walking Dead enthusiast Phil Brooks certainly isn’t an any hurry to return to WWE–despite his skilled trolling of wrestling fans.

Punk never managed his WrestleMania main event while champion, but his reign lasted 434 days–the longest since Hulk Hogan lost the title in the late 80s. It’s a historic reign, but given Punk’s public problems with WWE, it’s no surprise that he’s eager to get rid of the symbols of his wrestling carer.

The Chicago native is so eager to let got of his WWE ties, in fact, that he’s given away his WWE Championship title. The lucky recipient? Cliff Compton, an indie wrestler formerly employed by WWE.

Compton has no plans to hang onto the (apparently legit) prize for himself.

Known as Domino in WWE, Compton had a championship run of his own, as part of the tag team Deuce ‘n Domino.  Their reign lasted for 133 days, beginning on an April 2007 episode of SmackDown. Compton still has that belt.
