#2. Hope isn't true: No CM Punk for WWE Backstage just yet

CM Punk has been rumored for the past month to be joining the new FS1 program "WWE Backstage". Renee Young is the host and so far, her show has featured Booker T, Christian, and Paige.

She teased making a big announcement but unfortunately for WWE fans, that has nothing to do with CM Punk. Cageside Seats said:

15 shocking wrestling couples - Find out now!

The huge news Renee Young has teased for WWE Backstage isn’t expected to have anything to do with CM Punk.

We hope this isn't true because CM Punk joining WWE Backstage would be the best thing that could happen to the program. We know that Punk tried out as he revealed it in an interview himself and all reports have indicated that FOX wants him to come on board.

However, he hasn't given any indication of wanting to join and all we can do until then is speculate as to whether he'll be a part of the program. Renee Young has been vocally supportive of the idea of Punk joining her to host WWE Backstage.
