Ahead of the April 24th episode of Monday Night Raw, CM Punk made an unexpected and at one time unthinkable visit backstage.
It is believed that Punk ended up on a flight to Chicago from Florida with a number of WWE talents and on a whim made the decision to visit the taping. Punk reportedly hung out in a common area backstage and cleared the air with The Miz and had a brief conversation with Triple H.
Eventually, Punk was asked to leave by security, reportedly at the behest of Vince McMahon who had been informed of the visit but wasn’t at the taping.
While there remains a great deal of speculation around the visit, one WWE Hall of Famer was less than impressed with the news. In sharing one of the many reports about the incident, Eric Bischoff wrote “What a b*tch.” When questioned about who he meant, Bischoff said Punk.
Punk. If it’s even possible, he’s made the word “punk” even more demeaning than:
INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN
a worthless person (often used as a general term of abuse).
“you think any of these punks they got fighting today could stand up to Joe Louis?”
What a bitch https://t.co/7cnwTrfUwg

Eric Bischoff No Fan Of CM Punk
Eric Bischoff has repeatedly been critical of CM Punk and AEW boss Tony Khan, something that has continued since it was reported that Punk will be returning to the company in June. In response to the news, Bischoff stated that he doesn’t believe that Punk is that talented while referring to him as a “piece of garbage.”
