In the latest edition of WWE Magazine, there is a section titled "Cash for Questions," and CM Punk participated in a question session. One of the questions asked was, "Did The Miz steal your nickname, as in CM: Chick Magnet?" To which Punk said, "C’mon, why would I have such a ridiculous nickname? If you must know, CM is short for "Chicago Made" End of Story." This is the second interview in recent months where Punk has referred to the CM as standing for Chicago Made.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
