7 Ups & 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE Backstage (Dec 10)

WWE
As one of the most unlikely WWE (sort of) returnees of the past several years, CM Punk has to be aware of the magnetic pull towards his every word and move on WWE Backstage, and if he isn't, long may this sort of sh*t continue.
Literally seconds before Baron Corbin sauntered onto the show for his interview, cameras caught Punk and Paige swapping question cue cards, with the latter p*ssing herself at either the act itself or whatever 'The Straight Edge Superstar' had scribbled on his.
As with all WWE products, there was joy in working out what wasn't part of the script here - something Punk was always aware of when he was at the top of his game.
