CM Punk Returns to WWE – Wrestling News Today

WWE's new late-night television show WWE Backstage air's Tuesday nights on Fox Sports One.WWE Backstage is apart of the new Billion dollar Fox-Smackdown Deal. With Smackdown moving to Friday nights in October, WWE needed to fill the Tuesday night wrestling void. Cue "Cult of Personality".
WWE Backstage's Host Renee Young surprised fellow panelists Booker T, Paige, Samoa Joe, and Adam Cole with the entrance of CM Punk.
In classic Punk style, he looked directly into the camera and said: "it's as simple as this. Just when they think they got the answers, I change the culture. I'll see you here next week."
PWInsider.com reports that "Punk signed a deal with FOX but has not signed anything with WWE as of this initial appearance. The decision to bring Punk on was 100% a FOX call, but we are told that WWE gave the return their personal blessing."
@WWEonFOX Twitter confirmed that Punk will now be periodically appearing on WWE Backstage.
