CM Punk was recently a guest on 106.7 KROQ FM. This was in order to promote his new movie, “Girl on the Third Floor”.
During the interview, Punk was asked about the rumors of him trying out for the new ‘WWE Backstage’ show that will be hosted by Renee Young. Below are some highlights (via Wrestling INC).
Punk was first asked if he will be appearing on Smackdown on Friday Night. Punk responded with a joke:
“When is SmackDown, is that tonight?”
Punk was then asked about the rumors of him joining ‘WWE Backstage’. He downplayed the rumors a bit:
“You mean to tell me you’d watch a show where I talk about wrestling?”
I think people have… it’s taken on a life of its own,”
He also responded to fans waiting on his return to the ring:
“If nothing happens, please don’t be mad at me,”
Punk also said that the companies looking to hire him need to be the ones reaching out, not the other way around:
“If you want me to work for you, why is it my responsibility to move that forward? Shouldn’t you be contacting me and doing something?”
Punk didn’t deny the rumors directly. We will have to wait and see what happens over the next few days.
