CM Punk made a surprise appearance at the end of this week’s episode of ‘WWE Backstage’. This was Punk’s first appearance on anything WWE-related in several years.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider has provided some more details on Punk’s appearance on ‘WWE Backstage’. Johnson also provided some contract information and more.
Here is what Johnson wrote about Punk:
CM Punk’s return on WWE Backstage tonight was kept a secret from everyone on camera with the exception of Renee Young as a way to prevent the return from leaking. Obviously, FOX was successful.
PWInsider.com has confirmed that Punk signed a deal with FOX and has not signed anything with World Wrestling Entertainment. The decision to bring Punk on was 100% a FOX call, but we are told that WWE gave the return their personal blessing.
Punk will be appearing regularly on WWE Backstage going forward. His return led to his name and WWE Backstage trending on social media.
We will let you know if we hear anything more on Punk’s future.
