CM Punk back in WWE? Can it be?!
Well, hold your horses there, my friend. According to reports, former WWE champion and winner of the 2018 UFC “well, you tried” award CM Punk has reached a deal with Fox TV to be part of FS1’s weekly backstage WWE show. He admitted that he recently auditioned for the role which, if he did indeed get it, would technically make him a Fox employee rather than one for WWE.
The news was broken last night by the Twitter account @fightoracle, who is apparently a reliable source on other Wrestling TV related matters and, no, we’re not being sarcastic.
Punk recently appeared on the Collider Live podcast and on top of confirming his tryout for the show, also explained what appealed to him about the job.
If this is true, when will this happen?
Well, if this is indeed what’s happening, FS1 will have plenty of time to hype it up. The show, called WWE Backstage and hosted by Booker T and the aforementioned Renee Young, debuts on the cable network on Tuesday, November 5th at 11pm ET.
