Living Colour’s song “Cult of Personality” is synonymous with WWE’s CM Punk who has been using the song as his entrance theme since his time in Ring of Honor. He began using it in WWE in 2011 and it has stuck with him since. The band played Punk out during WrestleMania 29 for his match against The Undertaker. A few years ago Punk surprised the band at Riot Fest where they reunited. When Punk made his big return to professional wrestling in 2021, he brought the song along with him to AEW but now it’s back in WWE, where it all started.
Living Colour took to their Instagram this week to send well wishes to the WWE Superstar and at a recent show in Roanoke, Virginia. “I wanna dedicate this next song to CM Punk,” frontman Corey Glover announces in the video. “We hope that he has a speedy recovery after that defeat at [the] Royal Rumble . He’ll be back. So this one’s for him!”
“I have been fortunate enough to be friends with a lot of great bands, a lot of talented artists, and to use a lot of those songs for entrance music,” Punk said following his AEW debut in 2021. “Cult of Personality I think transcends everything. And I’m proud of this, that the name CM Punk is forever tied to the band Living Colour and Cult of Personality. It’s just been a common thread throughout my entire life.”
