As previously reported, WWE Backstage host Renee Young loved Asuka's skills behind the announce table and went on to say that she should become a full-time commentator. Now, Renee's WWE Backstage colleague and the show's analyst CM Punk has addressed Asuka in a recent tweet.

Punk responded to a fan who suggested that he and Asuka should form an announcing team. The former WWE Champion seemed in agreement with the idea and posted a GIF indicating the same. Check out the exchange below:
It isn't a secret that Punk is a fan of Asuka. She was mentioned in Punk's tweet listing 5 female Superstars he wanted to see on WWE Backstage. Ever since The Empress of Tomorrow turned heel, she has been showing a lot more personality and seems to be enjoying her run as Women's Tag Team Champion alongside Kairi Sane.
Punk is regarded as one of the greatest mic-workers in the history of WWE. His legendary 'Pipebomb' promo on an episode of Monday Night RAW in 2011 broke the fourth wall and took the wrestling world by storm at the time. Judging by the comments on his tweet, fans seem to be in agreement when it comes to possibly seeing Punk and Asuka behind the announce desk.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
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.
