Also, from the start Punk convinced Colt not to comply with Ahmans lawyers, and said his lawyers would handle it.
Seems he got dragged into the proceedings because he lawyered up with Punk.
That makes a lot of sense to me as why Colt was even in the defamation case, because he was nothing but a interviewer. Well now we know it's because he got roped into it by Punk, Punks lawyer, and became a participant in the ongoing lawsuit.
I wonder about the timing of the WWE meeting in comparison to when Punk changed his mind about paying.
If Punk backed out AFTER Colt met with WWE, it is still not legal but at least it gives a reason.
If Punk backed out FIRST, which I'm guessing is what happened because Colt had his own lawyers then, well that makes the most sense. An independent lawyer not tied to Punk would immediately advise Colt to take whatever meetings he could to try and get himself removed from the lawsuit.
In fact, I think Punks lawyers for in touch with Colt after the WWE meeting and got him to come back to their legal team at that time. Colt was again told at that point all the billing would be Punks responsibility, not Colts.
Punk made nice with Colt so Colt remained part of the lawsuit instead of getting himself removed. I think keeping them together was why Ahman lost, because no matter what was said, the courts were never gonna agree freedom of the press would be sacrificed over a podcast about wrestling.
The fact that Punk immediately balked at the bill as soon as the lawsuit was dismissed shows he was planning on defrauding Colt likely since the 2016 email about Colt being in his own.
Thus, I stuck with my initial assessnent, CM Punk is a miserable person. I hope Colt wins
