During the latest edition of the “WWE After the Bell” podcast, Corey Graves commented on CM Punk returning to WWE via “WWE Backstage” on FS1. For those unaware, Graves has been very outspoken over CM Punk leaving WWE. The two were good friends but that relationship took a hit when Punk left WWE and Graves accused him of leaving the “one thing that made him.”
Graves said the following, “My thought is this. It is a great move by FOX. FOX wants to get viewers, wants to get eyes on FS1, what better way than putting the man whose name is still chanted in arenas worldwide, one of the most controversial superstars ever in the business. CM Punk back on WWE Backstage as a periodic reporter. I’m not entirely sure what the role is. I’m sure by the time this airs, he will have been on, and the world will know significantly more than I do at this point. This, of course, has fueled rumors and speculation aplenty. Is Punk coming back into the WWE fold? Is he going to compete again? Punk himself has said no. He’s not interested in wrestling anymore. But as his appearance alone proved, you can never say never in WWE. I’ve been getting a litany of tweets and Instagram messages asking my personal opinion on the matter. My personal opinion on the matter is that it is a great move by FOX.”
