CM Punk’s WWE Return: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

3. Backstage Drama Dominates

Was Punk looking down at his watch on Survivor Series to signal "clobbering time", or is he ticking down the seconds until another backstage drama hogs the headlines? The man himself would probably roll his eyes at this, but wrestling fans expect those antics from him now. Such nonsense has followed him around, and he has been a common denominator in all of it.

Sad, but true.

It'd be a dream if this second go at WWE life went off without a hitch behind the curtain. However, if reports start popping up of Punk getting into arguments with other wrestlers or members of management, then few will actually be shocked to hear it.

Punk has to do everything in his power to keep things clean. This WWE comeback must be remembered for epic matches, fiery promos and on-screen greatness, not high school-esque drama and all that other silly nonsense.
