CM Punk reveals harsh truth about WWE's backstage atmosphere

CM Punk has claimed that he would like to return to the ring, but he is not a big fan of the backstage atmosphere in WWE. The former WWE Champion was talking to Swings & Mrs. With Cody and Jennifer Decker on their podcast when he revealed the bullying incident he faced.

“It’s a bully culture. I remember somebody — every time I would ice my elbow because I constantly had a chronically bad elbow. And I would ice my knees and that was more of a maintenance thing. After a while, I did get a surgery on my knee.

"But they would always laugh and make fun of me. And they would look and point and say, ‘Oh, look, it’s DDP!’ And I’d be like, ‘Why are we making fun of somebody for icing?’ It was always the stupidest stuff. The bullies backstage, I would always think like — is that a weakness, really?" (H/T 411 Mania)

CM Punk quit WWE back in 2014 and has not yet mended fences with the company. Both sides are open to working with each other but are yet to make contact.
