WWE sent out the following press release to various media outlets in regard to CM Punk appearing on WWE Backstage:

“CM Punk, one of the most celebrated WWE Superstars of all time, joins the roster of FS1’s WWE Backstage, beginning next week, Tuesday Nov. 19 at 11 PM ET/8 PM PT

Phil Brooks, better known as CM Punk, joins WWE Backstage as a special contributor and analyst. He will make select appearances in studio alongside host Renee Young and analyst Booker T.

‘The Best in the World’ joins fellow regular contributors Christian and Paige, as well as new correspondent Ryan Satin on the WWE Backstage rotation.

Television’s only studio show devoted to all things WWE, Backstage discusses the week’s biggest stories with a varied cast of guest and personalities, in addition to breaking news and exclusive behind-the-scenes access to WWE.”

The company also reported on Punk’s appearance on WWE.com.

“After a nearly six-year absence from WWE TV, CM Punk made a shocking, unannounced appearance on Tuesday night’s episode of WWE Backstage, FS1’s new weekly studio show,” WWE’s report reads.

“Punk left an unforgettable legacy during his WWE career, including holding the WWE Championship for a remarkable 434 days.
