It seems like the lawsuit that Colt Cabana had filed against his once best friend, CM Punk, has now been settled. Cabana's lawyer, Carey Stein confirmed the same on Sunday.

What happened between Punk and Cabana?

Back in 2014, CM Punk appeared on his friend Cabana's Art of Wrestling podcast, and spoke in detail about his WWE departure and what led to it. During the interview, Punk slammed WWE doctor Chris Amann, stating that he was negligent towards Punk's health and well-being. Punk added that Amann had misdiagnosed a staph infection that was bothering him for a while. Amann didn't take the comments kindly and filed a defamation lawsuit against both Punk and Cabana.

Cabana later made waves by suing Punk on the grounds that the latter had promised him via a text message that he will cover all of Cabana's expenses that would be stemming from the Amann case. Punk went on to file a countersuit in June 2019, stating that Cabana breached a contract when he refused to contribute towards the $1,210,000 that he had spent on the Amann case. It should be noted that both Punk and Cabana had signed a contract earlier that said that Cabana would not pay.
