Becky Lynch and CM Punk on WWE Backstage

Back in January, the WWE Universe got to witness both CM Punk and Becky Lynch on the same show, as the latter was a guest on WWE Backstage. The Man and Punk discussed on various topics, and Punk had nothing but praise for the RAW Women's Champion. At one point during the show, Punk even went as far as comparing Lynch to WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin.

He recalled Becky Lynch getting bloodied by Nia Jax on an episode of RAW back in 2018, and compared the iconic still with that of Stone Cold, from WrestleMania 13. Austin refused to quit his match against Bret Hart, as blood dripped down his face, and being compared to him in such a manner by CM Punk himself was certainly a special moment for Lynch.

Many fans expected the duo to talk about Seth Rollins, with whom Punk had feuded on social media a short while ago. This didn't happen though, but watching Becky and Punk discuss various topics was alone worth it for their fans.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
