UPDATE 1:
CM PUNK FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST COLT CABANA IN RESPONSE TO CABANA'S EXISTING LAWSUIT
By Mike Johnson on 2019-06-26 18:00:00
Former WWE Champion Phil "CM Punk" Brooks filed a lawsuit against ROH star Scott "Colt Cabana" Colton on 6/18 in the Circuit Court of Cook County in Illinois, PWInsider.com can exclusively report.
As PWInsider.com has previously reported, Colton alleged that Brooks promised him that he would be covered financially during the Amann lawsuit, only to have to later hire his own attorney after he and Brooks had a personal falling out. Colton has been attempting to claim he and Brooks had a verbal contract, arguing that Brooks should reimburse Colton for the legal fees he incurred after Brooks’ legal team no longer handled Colton’s side of the lawsuit.
Claims in the lawsuit were dismissed by the court, which did allow Colton to file an amended version. The current lawsuit before the court filed by Colton would be the third version, filed on 5/21. The latest filing is seeking a reimbursement of $200,000 in Colton’s personal legal costs plus additional damages, repeating much of the same language and the same allegations from Colton's previous lawsuit filings. Colton's claims in the most recent lawsuit version alleged he and Brooks had a contract that would have kept Colton from paying legal fees, but that Brooks’ legal team The Loeb Firm dropped him as a client after discovery with the idea they no longer needed to keep Colton on their side.

Former WWE Champion Phil "CM Punk" Brooks filed a lawsuit against ROH star Scott "Colt Cabana" Colton on 6/18 in the Circuit Court of Cook County in Illinois, PWInsider.com can exclusively report.
The counter-suit, seeking $600,000 from Colton, was filed as part of Brooks' response to Colton's second, amended lawsuit against the former WWE and ROH Champion. Colton filed a lawsuit in August 2018 against Brooks in the Circuit Court of Cook County in Illinois, alleging unpaid legal fees and a breach of contract from Brooks stemming from the lawsuit that WWE physician Doctor Chris Amann filed against each of them in the fallout of Brooks' November 2014 appearance on Colton's Art of Wrestling podcast.
