CM Punk Confirms Talks Over WWE Backstage Role

[@GuzRoca]

Adam sounds fine but Adam doesn’t

[@TheOnlyBasketCase]

Yeah and Adam looks good, but not as good as Adam..

[@MariahSyn]

As the Million Dollar Man says "Everyone's got a price."

[@tylerlee8531]

He's exclusively dealing with fox. No wwe

[@saugatk.c.8821]

Million Dollar Man gimmick is more relevant than ever.

[@aaroneudell4388]

Wasn't it EveryBODIES got a price? Wasn't it?

[@zacharyhensley2939]

Might be dealing with Fox but also said he'd talk if wwe came to him but also said if they asked him to wrestle he would say no but if they offered him a Lesnar deal he wouldn't turn that down not even Brock could turn it down multiple times now.

[@MF_Clutter]

I don’t think Adam Nicolas ‘s mic was on or working..

[@chadwcmichael]

“This is a Fox show, not WWE....” Wouldn’t it be some awesome shit, if he talked for Fox for this show, and WRESTLED for AEW?

[@thelinedrive]

Yeah no. FOX is spending billions on this and they aren’t going to promote something they won’t see a dime from.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@thomas burns That also means he won't be on RAW either, since FOX Sports & USA Network are RIVALS.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@thomas burns Point is, he's not back wholly with WWE yet, like so many have speculated. This is inherently a FOX deal show & if ratings don't reach the 3.4 benchmark FOX wants, they can pull out, leaving Phil out of a job & leaving WWE to scramble for a new provider to air Smackdown after removing it from USA Network so it could air on FOX Sports.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

@thomas burns I know you didn't. But I was more or less commenting to the whole WWE Universe, particularly those dead-set on thinking this constitutes "CM Punk Return Confirmed", when he's working for FOX, not the WWE. However, if the WWE does not get the 3.4 ratings FOX wants, then FOX will back out of the deal, leaving Punk without his new job & WWE scrambling to find a new provider for Smackdown and WWE Backstage.

You can see his Mic. It's just black on his black shirt. It just isn't on or something. But yeha i dont care for the music. It always seems too loud in every video they do.
