WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross took to his Grilling J.R. podcast recently to talk about CM Punk’s rumored return to WWE.
Those rumors turned out to be true as Punk has signed with FOX Sports to work on the WWE Backstage show on FS1. He is not under contract with WWE right now. Here is what Ross had to say:
“I have great respect for Phil Brooks, I surely do. I think he is a marvelous performer,” J.R. said. “He is something that the business needs right now because he is real. He suspends your disbelief – amazing storyteller, but I would love to sit down and talk with him just about our friendship, not necessarily go into the mainline about what it would take to get [him] back. Any idiot can ask that question, so I think you discover those things on your own and figure out where his head is and what he wants to do.
“Look, what if he just wants to do one match? Well, I would take him to do one match. I would build him right – get him back on television and build to one-match on-pay-per-view so you can maximize your investment.”
