The Washington Post posted an article about the whopping $1 million libel lawsuit WWE’s Dr. Chris Amann has against CM Punk, stemming from comments Punk made on Colt Cabana’s podcast last year.

On Monday, a Cook County Circuit Court judge named Janet Adams Brosnahan denied CM Punk’s and co-defendant Colt Cabana’s motions to dismiss the case entirely. The lawsuit has been cleared to push forward.

Judge Brosnahan also ordered Punk and Colt to submit answers to Dr. Amann’s in depth 15-page complaint. Punk and Colt now have until August 24th to file a formal response to the complaint.

At the core, they will be asked to simply admit or deny the allegations. Another less committal option is to say they lack the sufficient knowledge to answer.

CM Punk is knee deep in preparation for his first fight in the UFC and this lawsuit will probably not affect him enough to detract from his training, but is a distraction.

All of this started when WWE ringside doctor Amann slapped a defamation lawsuit on the pair for comments made on the 2014 “Art of Wrestling” podcast.

Punk claimed Amann repeatedly misdiagnosed a sizable lump on his back that turned into a full-blown staph infection, and many other accusations. Again, the doctor is seeking “more than $1 million in compensatory damages, as well as an undetermined amount of punitive damages.”

Here are the last three entries in the lawsuit.
