Former WWE Superstar CM Punk was interviewed on the Barstool Sportsā My Momās Basement podcast on which he discussed his recent audition for the WWE Backstage talk show on FS1.
"I did the FOX thing. They asked me to come out and I was already in LA, so I went into the FOX studios. I guess you could call it an audition? I havenāt heard a thing. Renee Young and Booker T, I havenāt seen either of them in 5+ years. I think Renee is great, thatās the kind of thing she is built for. Booker, to me, heās Booker; heās always laughing and heās good for that kind of role.
I was told WWE wasnāt involved, but who knows? It could be why I havenāt heard anything yet. I made it very clear to them that if I landed this I wouldnāt be there just to sh*t on everything, because nobody wants to watch that.
The way they approached me with it was like, āWe have A-Rod for baseball, Troy Aikman for FOX and we would have you for wrestling. That would be your authority. Youāve been there, youāve done the WrestleManias, youāve been the Champion. We would like for you to be the analyst.ā I thought it was kind of interesting.
The FOX thing to me was interesting based on that. Iād be an analyst, that sounds great. Letās be honest, if they (WWE) do something bad, Iām not going to be able to toe the company line.
Iāll be like, āJeez, that wasā¦ great.ā I just canāt do that, and I expressed that to FOX. I stated that if that was the case, Iām not interested."
