CM Punk's Name
How come he got to keep his name when he signed with the WWE?
Why did they not rename him Phillip McGuillicutty or something? Quote:

That started with NXT. Well, it actually started with Dolph Ziggler, but yeah the crazy names started with that show. Dunno which season, but yeah.

Think I heard he agreed to sign over all of his licensing rights in order to use the name.

I'm pretty sure the renaming thing began before NXT, didn't it?
So, does this mean WWE owns the name? If Punk left and went somewhere else, would he now have to use a different name? |

Yeah, Evan bourne is a good example of an earlier name change.

Punk wouldnt have to change his name if he went because it was his brain-child. just like MVP

My guess is that 1)the name was pretty good and marketable and 2)WWE officials at the time probably didn't think he'd ever amount to anything more than a midcarder

I'm pretty sure Heyman booking him in OVW and then bringing him to ECW probably had some influence in it too. Probably went to bat for him.

Punk gives a different explination for the CM everytime he has asked. anyhow punk sold the name to the wwe.

basically this means the can continue using his name after he leaves but RVD sold them his name as well and is using still so i would wager he would still be able to use CM Punk...legal stuff is tricky tho so who knows.
