The trial between CM Punk and WWE's Dr. Chris Amann over comments the former made about the physician continues in Chicago and yesterday saw Senior Director of Talent Relations Mark Carrano take the stand. During his time being questioned, he shed some light on what went on behind the scenes of the 2014 Royal Rumble, the night Punk decided to walk out of the company.

He revealed that the people in the Gorilla Position during the event were Vince McMahon, Triple H, Michael Hayes, and Billy Kidman, adding that there were also at least 10 - 15 WWE Superstars in the room throughout most of the match as well. After Punk took a clothesline from Kofi Kingson, Carrano said he, Triple H, and Hayes all told Kidman to get the referee to check on his condition.

Carrano added that Punk never complained to him about any sort of lump caused by an MRSA staph infection and only mentioned being concussed the next day in Cleveland. He reportedly received some strange looks from the current UFC star during his testimony and pointed out that even though everyone backstage showed concern, Punk was still irate after the Rumble match.

It now remains to be seen how things pan out in this trial but Punk has yet to take the stand and this testimony is bound to be of interest to wrestling fans everywhere. What do you think?
