In early 2009, [[WWE]] used "Cult of Personality" in the video promoting the induction of [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] into its Hall of Fame. Outside of his use of it in professional wrestling.

In 2011, [[WWE]] wrestler [[CM Punk]] returned with [[Cult of Personality (song)|Cult of Personality]] as his theme song for his highly appreciated Summer of Punk run. Punk had used this song before when he used to perform for [[Ring of Honor]]. Upon joining WWE, he didn't try to get the song as his theme because he believed that WWE won't get a song licensed for a mid-card wrestler. He used the song for his [[All Elite Wrestling|AEW]] run as well between 2021 and 2023. CM Punk also entered to the song for his debut [[mixed martial arts]] bout at [[UFC 203]] and subsequently at [[UFC 225]] for his fight versus Mike Jackson.
