Stone Cold Steve Austin reacts to CM Punk's return

WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin appeared on the State of Combat podcast earlier this week and discussed a bunch of topics. Austin opened up on former WWE Champion CM Punk working for WWE Backstage.

After he made his shocking appearance on WWE Backstage last week, CM Punk appeared on the show as a special contributor and analyst on this week's edition. The Straight Edge Superstar gave his opinion on Seth Rollins' challenge, and the blue Universal title, among other things.

Steve Austin discussed Punk's return and shared his views on Punk working for the FS1 show. Austin isn't sure whether this is going to lead to an in-ring return, but he loves the fact that Punk is finally back after splitting with WWE on bad terms.

"I don’t know if it leads to anything more, I guess speculation, to be determined, we’ll find out. Just the fact that he’s returned to be doing business with WWE, I love, because I don’t know, they split up on bad terms, and now they’re back in business together.

"It’s a breath of fresh air because the guy brings a great perspective, great insight, and great opinion on all things sports entertainment.”

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
