1) How WWE Feels About CM Punk Right Now
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer was asked about how long CM Punk’s contract is (with FOX) for WWE Backstage. While he doesn’t know the exact length of his deal with FOX, Meltzer noted that WWE is currently unhappy with CM Punk.
Meltzer noted that WWE is negative on the idea of Punk wrestling for their company anytime soon. Here is a quote:
“I do know that WWE is pretty negative on the idea of Punk wrestling, more than I thought they would be but they are.”
“There’s a lot of bitterness. Apparently there’s more bitterness on the WWE side right now than on the Punk side. I would have thought it would be the other way around.”
Some fan speculation is that WWE didn’t like Punk’s Tweet from a few weeks ago, which ripped into The Miz and WWE’s relationship with Saudi Arabia. That is only speculation though.
My Take:
- I was definitely one of the people who was hoping to see Punk at Wrestlemania 36 when the news first broke of him getting the WWE Backstage job. Looks like I was way wrong.
