A judge has thrown out Colt Cabana’s lawsuit against CM Punk. Lawyers for Cabana have already filed a new lawsuit, however. According to a report from PW Insider, a judge ruled Cabana did not have enough proof of a commitment from Punk to cover the cost of Cabana’s legal fees in their defense against WWE’s lawsuit.
Cabana’s first lawsuit was not dismissed with prejudice, however, which allows him to re-file it.
The new lawsuit is stating that Punk believed at the time he made the statements regarding WWE on Colt’s podcast that he was aware there was likely to be legal ramifications and told Cabana he would cover the costs. Cabana is seeking $200,000 in lawyer fees stemming from WWE’s lawsuit against the two of them.
Colt Cabana and CM Punk Legal Dispute
Cabana addressed his lawsuit against Punk briefly this summer on his podcast.
“All I want is for this thing to be settled,” Cabana said. “I don’t have anything to say about it. I’m going to try not to say anything about this until after everything unfolds, I guess.”
