What exactly happened between Booker T and CM Punk backstage at NXT Deadline?
Punk made an appearance at NXT Deadline and shared the ring with WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. He ran into Booker T backstage and didn't hesitate to call him a flip-flopper. Here's what happened as per Booker:
"Punk wasn't hiding. He wasn't hid away in some room making surprise appearances. No, he was running around mingling, and I ran into Punk in catering and he was sitting there talking with a couple of friends... Before I sat down, I walked up to Punk and I said, 'CM Punk! What up man?' And he stands up and goes, 'Wassup man, you flip flopper.' And I go, 'You know how the business is. Sometimes you're heel, sometimes you're babyface, but welcome home," said Booker T.
Punk is now back in WWE and is all set to compete in his first match post-return. The veteran will take on Dominik Mysterio at the December 26 and 30 WWE live events.
