But they are supposed to give an illusion of real life. That is the meaning of them keeping up kayfabe. To give the image of it being real.

In professional wrestling, kayfabe (pronounced /?ke?fe?b/) is the portrayal of events within the industry as "real" or "true," specifically the portrayal of competition and rivalries between participants as being genuine or not of a worked nature. Referring to events or interviews as being a "work" means that the event/interview has been "kayfabed" or staged, or is part of a wrestling angle while being passed off as legitimate. Kayfabe has also evolved to become a code word of sorts for maintaining this "reality" within the realm of the general public.[1]

Kayfabe is often seen as the suspension of disbelief that is used to create the non-wrestling aspects of promotions, such as feuds, angles, and gimmicks, in a similar manner with other forms of entertainment such as soap opera or film. In relative terms, a wrestler breaking kayfabe during a show would be likened to an actor breaking character on camera. Also, since wrestling is performed in front of a live audience, whose interaction with the show is crucial to the show's success (see pop), one might compare kayfabe to the fourth wall, since there is hardly any conventional fourth wall to begin with.


Kayfabe is just what I said it was. The way of making the fans for just a while believe that wrestling is real and not scripted and fake. Punk is a villain since he is behaving like one.

You are mixing it up. Phil Brooks, the man behind CM Punk is neither and anti hero or a villain or a hero. He is an actor/athlete portraying the currently villainous character of CM Punk.

Just like Mark Callaway, the man behind the Undertaker isn't really dead but portraying the dead man. But for the viewers at home and on set; they are supposed to be. Kayfabe is meant to make them believe that.

Neither of these men are in anyway like the people they portray on tv. It is scripted and they are told what to do. Punk is currently playing a villain.
