WWE Backstage analyst and special contributor CM Punk made his return to the show on tonight's episode. Punk talked about a bunch of topics, including the controversial segment on Monday Night RAW involving Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler. Soon after Lynch defeated Asuka to retain her RAW Women's title, Baszler attacked her and bit her in an incredibly disturbing visual. Lynch's neck could be seen covered in blood, and it seems like we are in for a Lynch-Baszler showdown at WrestleMania 36.

Punk shared his views on the segment, and from the looks of it, the former WWE Champion wasn't too thrilled with what happened. He stated that Shayna is a legit bad**s and didn't need to bite Becky to establish herself as one. Punk further said that this spot could have been used further down the line, in a match where Shayna felt that she might lose.
CM Punk on Shayna biting Becky: Said she's a bad ass and didn't really need that. Said it could have been used during a match when Shayna got to a point where she felt like she may not win it. #WWEBackstagepic.twitter.com/msn32kSBHa
Punk has been pretty vocal about WWE's current product ever since he was appointed as a special contributor on WWE Backstage. This doesn't mean that Punk has only negative things to say about WWE. He has praised a bunch of WWE storylines and segments in the past, with the most notable one being the dog food angle involving Roman Reigns and King Corbin.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
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.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
