In a further update on CM Punk joining WWE Backstage on FOX, it should be noted he has not signed a contract with WWE. Punk's deal is 100% with FOX who selected him for the role and they had the blessing of WWE to allow it to go ahead.
The deal according to WrestlingNews.co was signed officially just days ago and there had been some pressure to get it done quick, because of last week's shockingly low WWE Backstage viewership which drew only 49,000. His return was kept on the low and only a few key people knew of Punk appearing on tonight's WWE Backstage.
This doesn't mean that Punk will never return to WWE, just those discussions haven't been had as yet and there would be a lot on both sides that would need to be worked out given the history.Â
In addition to this, the @WWEonFOX twitter revealed that Punk will not be on WWE Backstage every week.Â
We'll keep you updated.
