The 42-year-old, who walked out on WWE in January 2014, discussed the current WWE product on the weekly FS1 show between November 2019 and June 2020. Before joining the show, Punk said he had not watched wrestling in five years.
Speaking to Movie Trivia Schmoedown’s Kristian Harloff, the former WWE star confirmed that he enjoyed working on the show. He also praised Paquette and FOX’s executives for making him feel so comfortable.
CM Punk’s appearance on WWE Backstage prompted several superstars to challenge him to a match, most notably Seth Rollins. The former Shield member tweeted “fight me” after Punk’s WWE Backstage debut. A week later, Punk responded by telling Rollins to delete his Twitter account.
CM Punk wanted WWE Backstage to last longer
WWE Backstage host Renee Paquette was joined by various WWE legends every week including Booker T, Christian, CM Punk, and Paige.
Punk said he signed a one-year deal with FOX, but his appearances – and the show itself – were cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Moving forward, CM Punk is expected to make his return to wrestling on AEW Rampage next Friday in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Watch the video above to hear Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Jose G and Kevin Kellam discuss Punk’s in-ring return.
