WWE fans might be ecstatic to see CM Punk back on WWE TV, but higher-ups in the company and members of the Creative team might be slightly perturbed after Punk's first full appearance on the show.

During the one hour broadcast, CM Punk had few positive things to say about the current WWE product, and was quick to call the recent Roman Reigns "dog" segment on SmackDown an instance of bad creative.

On a lighter note, however, CM Punk certainly does seem excited about Rey Mysterio vs Brock Lesnar set to take place at WWE Survivor Series this weekend. While other WWE Backstage hosts spoke about the match from a storyline standpoint, Punk talked about the potential Brock Lesnar and Rey Mysterio have to tell a great story at the PPV on Sunday.

Punk noted that a "motivated Brock Lesnar" could have a great match with Rey Mysterio, and he thinks the two are going to put on a good show at Survivor Series this weekend. The potential for Lesnar vs Mysterio was about the only positive thing Punk had to say about the product during WWE Backstage.
