• Backstage Response To CM Punk’s Return & Possible In-Ring Comeback
According to Brad Shepard, former WWE wrestler CM Punk’s surprise return on WWE Backstage fell flat at the WWE HQ, but it might eventually lead to an in-ring return in WWE:
“I spoke to a source in WWE about CM Punk’s new role on WWE Backstage. I was told his appearance/new role received a mild reaction at WWE HQ, and the source felt it was a flat ‘return’.
They don’t believe that’s entirely his fault but it felt dry seeing him on a recap show.
There’s still no deal with WWE at this time – he’s all Fox Sports. The internal belief though, is this is CM Punk’s initial attempt at melting the ice before inevitably getting in the ring again.”
