If it wasn't abundantly clear UFC competitor and former WWE superstar CM Punk had put his wrestling career behind him, this story might finalize it in your mind once and for all.

Cliff Compton, who was once a tag team champion, took to Twitter on Wednesday to discuss the awesome Christmas gift he received from CM Punk while helping him clean out his storage unit. "This is kinda cool" and "It's yours, Merry Christmas," is the short form of the story, but Compton details it more on his Twitter.

I was in the storage unit of @CMPunk and I found his legit @wwe belt. I said this is kinda cool and he said its yours, Merry XMAS. #Champ pic.twitter.com/JWKK08szB5

@SouthSiderKB @CassHummel @CMPunk @WWE I dunno, he had a bunch of belts in a random box. I just happened to grab this one. It was dusty.

@SouthSiderKB @CassHummel @CMPunk @WWE Not sad. Mike Tyson tossed his boxing titles in the garbage. Life goes on 🇺🇸

And the best part of the entire story... he's gifting the belt to his 9-year-old nephew who is a huge CM Punk fan.

@xXSound_WavexX @CMPunk @WWE Sorry it's going to my 9 year old nephew who stopped watching wrestling after Punk left 😀
