Second City Saints
The Second City Saints was an American professional wrestling stable in Ring of Honor, consisting of CM Punk, Colt Cabana and Ace Steel, consisting of all three members representing Chicago, Illinois. They were also managed sporadically by Lucy and Traci Brooks. The group was formed in 2003 and would feud with Raven, The Prophecy and Generation Next before CM Punk left ROH to wrestle in World Wrestling Entertainment in August 2005. Following Punk's departure, Cabana and Steel teamed together one other time as the Second City Saints, when they competed in a losing effort against Jimmy Rave and Sal Rinauro of The Embassy. Second City Saints enjoyed huge championship success in ROH as Punk held the ROH World Championship once and Punk and Cabana won the Tag Team Championship twice. History Ring of Honor Formation (2003) At Expect The Unexpected on March 15, 2003, CM Punk began feuding with the debuting Raven over the former's straight edge lifestyle and the latter's alcohol and drug addiction, leading to Punk defeating Raven in a Raven's Rules match. The following week, at Night of Champions, Punk teamed with his trainer Ace Steel to take on Raven and Colt Cabana, another trainee of Steel and Punk's former tag team partner in the independent circuit. Raven and Cabana won the match but Cabana turned on Raven after the match and joined Punk and Steel to form a stable called The Second City Saints, based on the trio all belonging to Chicago, Illinois.
