Regarding WWE’s upcoming CM Punk DVD featuring Ring of Honor footage, WWE went to ROH and asked them for permission to use the footage. Most likely WWE paid some amount of money to ROH’s parent company Sinclair Broadcasting. WWE also paid some money to Ian Rotten to use footage of Punk in IWA Mid-south.
