Former Tag Team Champion Rene Dupree is open to returning to WWE to compete at Backlash in France next year.
Dupree joined the Stamford-based company in 2002 and debuted on the main roster the following year. However, the two-time Tag Team Champion's run ended in 2007 when he decided to leave the promotion following Chris Benoit's tragic double murder and suicide incident. The 40-year-old has since wrestled in Japan and on the independent circuit.
During a recent episode of Cafe de Rene, a fan asked Dupree whether he would return to WWE to compete at Backlash France if he received a call.

During an episode of Cafe de Rene, Dupree claimed he hated tapping out to Punk because he did not respect him as a person.
"[Which wrestler did you hate having to take a submission move from?] CM Punk just because I didn't respect him as a person. I just didn't like him. I didn't like being put in the Anaconda Vise and having to tap out to him. That was the only guy I had a problem putting over and I put over everybody. Yeah, I just didn't understand why they wanna go with this guy. But, their business. And shortly after, I walked out," he said.
