Consider yourself lucky if you were watching WWE Backstage live. Of all the people present onstage at the end of the show, only Renee Young seemed to know what was happening. In the closing moments of the show, she said that Backstage needed some of its own historic and memorable moments.

She counted down from three and then "Cult of Personality" hit. Anyone who has followed wrestling for the last 15 years knows exactly what that song means. CM Punk shocked the world when he walked through the doors and into the ring onstage.

The panelists, especially Paige, were all pleasantly shocked and surprised to see the former WWE Champion associated with the company once more. Punk said that he'd be on next week's show, likely causing a ratings bump for WWE Backstage. It was revealed after the show that Punk joined FOX, and not technically WWE.

FOX did get the blessing from WWE according to a press release issued by WWE. A deal was apparently reached between the Best in the World and FOX over the last few days. Whatever the reasons may be, it's always great to see the Voice of the Voiceless associated with professional wrestling once again. Oh, the stories he'll tell.
