CM Punk Says He Knew He Made It When Jane The Makeup Lady Wondered Why He Never Visited
CM Punk is a multi-time WWE Champion, one of the most decorated wrestlers in history with runs in WWE, AEW, and ROH, and a sure-fire Hall of Famer.
But when did he make it?
“There used to be one makeup lady (in WWE). Her name was Jane. Not the nicest lady in the world. This is how I knew I made it. My first time, I was under contract in Ohio Valley Wrestling, and I was brought up to do a dark match. I found the spray bottle that was in the makeup case and I was wetting my hair. I hear, down the hallway, all these expletives, like a sailor was yelling at me. I turn around and it was Jane. ‘What do you think you’re doing? That is for talent. Put it down.’ I was like, ‘Okay.’ Quietly tiptoe away. That was 2005. In 2011, CM Punk became the hottest superstar in the business and Jane walks up to me one day and goes, ‘How come you never come see me? You know I can cut your hair right?’ I was like, ‘I made it. I’m a top guy now,'” Punk recalled during an appearance on Unsportsmanlike with Evan Cohen, Chris Canty and Michelle Smallmon.
Punk noted that there are more makeup tables now than there were back in the day.
