Two former WWE superstars, CM Punk and Colt Cobana, have been hit with a huge lawsuit from the WWE ringside doctor --
who claims the duo defamed him ... when they trashed him over the way he treated a growth on CM Punk's back.
The man behind the lawsuit is Dr. Chris Amann -- who claims Punk and Colt Cabana defamed him on Colt's "Art of Wrestling" podcast back in November ... when Punk spoke out for the first time about his departure from WWE.
But Amann says it's all BS -- claiming the statements are false and defamatory ... and now he wants the wrestlers to pony up more than $1 million in damages to his reputation ... plus punitive damages.
In light of CM Punk's allegations regarding WWE’s medical staff and the subsequent defamation lawsuit filed,
WWE continues to have the utmost confidence in the ability and expertise of our world-class team of physicians
.
WWE’s investigation has shown the following:
CM Punk did not discuss this alleged condition with WWE’s team of physicians and trainers, nor did he discuss it with anyone in our Talent Relations department.
Subsequently, WWE has no medical records documenting this alleged condition.
The first time WWE was made aware of this alleged condition was when we received a letter from CM Punk’s attorney on August 22, 2014, after WWE terminated his contract.
There is clear video evidence from the 2014 Royal Rumble, which allows all to decide whether there is any appearance of a baseball-sized growth on CM Punk’s back.
I feel so bad for AJ Lee in all of this. It must be so awkward to work for a company that's going back and forth with your husband. Just imagine all the **** ppl must talk about her husband backstage.
