CM Punk backstage at WWE NXT

CM Punk was backstage at Tuesday’s NXT.

Although he did not appear on Tuesday’s broadcast, Punk was backstage. Lola Vice on X shared a picture of her with Punk.

Fightful Select reported that Punk was backstage at the show, where he was hanging out throughout the day. He was also giving talent feedback on their matches.

Punk made a brief appearance on Saturday’s NXT Deadline event, exchanging words with Shawn Micheals and teasing he could sign with the brand. Their segment ended with the two taking a selfie.

Making his return at Survivor Series, Punk had been a free agent in storyline until Monday, when he signed his Raw contract. After he signed, Seth Rollins came out and the two had a staredown. Rollins told Punk to never call WWE home, because he left ten years ago and he has been the one to carry the ball since then. But he also told Punk that he wanted him to be on Raw so there would be a possibility of him facing Punk and defeating him in a World Heavyweight title match.

Punk responded by saying he’s never been given anything, he’s always earned it and said he would be entering the Royal Rumble next month.
