Update: WWE Orders Comic Book Producers to Remove CM Punk From Future Re-Print Editions

cm punkAccording to PWInsider.com, WWE has ordered The Paper Cutz Comic Book producers to remove CM Punk from all future re-prints released of graphic novels featuring WWE characters and story lines.

The issues featuring CM Punk are currently out of print, but WWE has told Paper Cutz they must remove Punk from any future re-prints of the novels. Older issues of the graphic novels, although currently not being printed, might still be on shelves at certain bookstores.

WWE no longer has the right to use the CM Punk name or image, as Punk’s deal with WWE was officially terminated back in October and he owns the rights to his name, but this is still considered to be a big move by WWE as it’s akin to the company editing certain superstars out of past DVD’s or DVD’s of PPV events.
