5 major takeaways from CM Punk's segments on WWE Backstage

#1 CM Punk is already putting his colleagues in very sticky situations

The dynamic between CM Punk and the rest of the WWE Backstage show hosts and guests is going to be interesting going forward, and that was immediately clear on this week's episode of the show.

In addition to CM Punk, Renee Young, Paige, Booker T, and Ember Moon appeared on the show as hosts and guests on this week's WWE Backstage, and CM Punk is certainly in a class of his own as it pertains to the personalities on the show.

While Renee Young, Booker T, Paige, and other hosts and guests like Christian and Ember Moon, are at times critical of the WWE product, they are more often than not reacting to WWE storylines with a certain joviality and fan-like intrigue. The same cannot be said of CM Punk. One of the first things Punk admitted on the show this week is that much of the WWE product is the same as it was when he left the company, and he noted a couple of examples of recent "bad creative."

It's obvious that CM Punk was brought onto the WWE Backstage show to "shoot", and he will likely face little to no repercussions for expressing his candid thoughts on the WWE product, especially because he does not work for WWE. But considering the other show hosts and guests are not CM Punk, and work for WWE and not FOX, it will be interesting to see how they react going forward if and when Punk buries the WWE product.
