The week before the libel & slander case against former WWE Champion CM Punk and Colt Cabana by WWE Doctor Chris Amaan, Amaan filed for several motions to make sure that some issues weren’t brought up during the trial in front of the jury.
According to a report from Deadspin, one of those issues was a relationship Amaan had with former WWE Divas Champion Jillian Hall. There were some motions that were sealed away and the only people who saw them were those involved with the case, however, others were available at the Cook County Courts at Daley Center in Chicago on computer terminals in the clerk’s office.
One of those motions argued that during the trial the defense couldn’t mention Amann’s romantic and sexual relations with Hall and another indy wrestler (who remains unnamed) he met while she unsuccessfully tried out for WWE twice.
None of this was brought up during the trial, meaning that the motion was successful. There were also some excerpts from depositions before the trial began, which included Amann answering “yes” to questions such as if he had “any relationship with [Hall] while she was a performer,” if they were “more than friends,” if they had “a sexual relationship,” and if they had “a romantic relationship.”
Two more depositions also mentioned Amann’s relationship with Hall. A friend of Punk and Cabana’s, also a former WWE Superstar, Cliff Compton, testified about a conversation he and with Hall (when he wasn’t working for WWE) who told him about the relationship. CM Punk’s sister, Chaleen Rumpf, also noted that both Punk and Compton had told her about “unethical things that the doctors were doing” in the WWE such as “the doctor is sleeping with, you know, some of the wrestlers.”
Deadspin contacted Hall about the matter and she confirmed that she had a romantic relationship with Amaan when he was working as the traveling doctor for the RAW brand. Amaan and his legal team did not respond for comment on the matter. A spokesperson for WWE did, however, issue out this statement on the situation:
“We were not aware of this. We are investigating the matter and will determine if any action is warranted.”
A source who worked on the RAW brand while Amaan and Hall were together noted to Deadspin that neither attempted to hide their relationship.
