Pro Wrestling Tees Head Graphic Designer Claims WWE, Mitchell & Ness Stole His CM Punk Art For Their New Collection
David Stenken claims WWE and Mitchell & Ness copied his CM Punk design from 2021.
When CM Punk returned to professional wrestling a few years ago at AEW Rampage, a new T-shirt was released by the company. David Stenken, the head graphic designer at Pro Wrestling Tees, worked on the merchandise.
On social media, Stenken claims that the recently released CM Punk hoodie by WWE and Mitchell & Ness copied his art.
He shared the following:
“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?”
As of publishing time, these hoodies are no longer available on Mitchell & Ness’ website.
Punk is currently scheduled to appear on the upcoming WWE SmackDown. Fans can read the current lineup by clicking here.
