Pro Wrestling Tees head graphic designer David Stenken claimed today on Instagram that WWE and sports apparel company Mitchell & Ness copied and stole his CM Punk art design from 2021 for their recently released CM Punk hoodies collection.
“What a time to be alive lol. This @cmpunk design was one of my career highlights. It was the highest selling piece of AEW merch that year and one of their best selling of all time. I was there at the (United) Center when he came out. It was all over the building in lights. That seems like a whole lifetime ago in wrestling years – but what’s old is new again lol. @wwe and @mitchellandness have tag teamed against me and stole my art for their latest collab. Which sucks. Does anyone know a good lawyer?”
The hoodies in dispute are currently no longer available for sale and were taken down on Mitchell & Ness’ website.
