Mark Henry addresses CM Punk's WWE RAW backstage appearance

The news of CM Punk being backstage at RAW in Chicago has caused quite a stir, but according to WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, it's not as big of a deal as it seems.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Henry explained that wrestlers and their associates often visit different promotions without causing any issues.

“There’s never been a problem, even at AEW," Mark Henry said. "We have wives, husbands, best friends, business partners come into AEW world all the time. And most of the time, you never know they were there. You never know unless some damn glory hound in the back is like, ‘Oh, I want to get famous. Let me post his photo. Let me post this video.’ Or you work in the building, and you take a snapshot of a security photo, and you post it ala Ricky Starks at Royal Rumble."

Henry believes that Punk's presence at the Allstate Arena was blown out of proportion because of his polarizing nature.
