CM Punk was adamant that WWE used Cult of Personality in all its original glory, Living Color\'s lead vocalist Corey Glover.
After \'leaving\' WWE at Money in the Bank 2011 as WWE Champion, Punk returned eight days later to Cult of Personality, a track he had previously used as a theme during his days in Ring of Honor. The song has gone on to be closely associated with Punk, who used the track in UFC, All Elite Wrestling, and in his most recent return to WWE.
Sitting down with the Drinks With Johnny podcast, Glover discussed Punk\'s use of the theme. He explained that upon his 2011 \'return,\' WWE wanted to make a track similar to Cult of Personality, an idea the Best in the World was against.
\"They had their own music division of the WWE and they were gonna have somebody make up a song that sounded similar to Cult of Personality. But that was gonna be his entrance music. ‘No, I don’t want that. I want the real thing.’ He’s like one of the talent that actually got that in his contract that wherever he goes, that goes with him.\
The track is very fitting for Punk, who has developed a cult of personality of his own. It was this charisma that kept fans chanting his name during what would be a seven-and-a-half year absence from pro-wrestling. Nowadays, fans can hear the tune in all its glory in WWE as the Best in the World continues to be a hot commodity in pro wrestling.
