WWE has been accused of stealing in an insane CM Punk controversy.
It seems three years after his AEW stint ended CM Punk is still in the thick of things when it comes to controversies. Although here he isn’t so much directly involved as some of the past incidents.

WWE Accused Of Stealing CM Punk’s AEW Shirt Design
David Stenken, the head graphic designer at Pro Wrestling Tees, has issued a statement accusing WWE of stealing his CM Punk shirt design. The t-shirt went on sale during Punk’s time in AEW and was on the PWTees website before WWE’s New collaboration merchandise with Mitchell & Ness.
The public statement led to Mitchell & Ness taking the t-shirt down and many fans think it’s confirmation that the design was indeed copied.
It’s a shame that a company as big as WWE will resort to such blatant plagiarism and involve themselves in this matter. A billion dollar company should never have to face such allegations.
It drags the name of the company and the the superstar involved through the mud and is so clearly such a bad look.
No statement has yet been issued by either parties involved. But the situation is nonetheless very concerning and outright pathetic.
