The Story On CM Punk’s Backstage Heat
January 30th, 2007 by Brian Cantor
What’s the origin of CM Punk’s backstage heat?
While CM Punk’s initial months with WWE were plagued by heat from a few key members of the WWE power bloc, he now has heat with much of the lockerroom, the Wrestling-Observer Newsletter reports.
Management received multiple complaints from wrestlers who claimed that Punk carries a “main-event” attitude backstage despite being relatively new to World Wrestling Entertainment.
Sources say that Punk doesn’t say or do anything inherently disrespectful, but his sarcastic attitude is not well-received by a lockerroom that does not believe he’s earned the right to possess such an attitude.
The Observer adds that his relationship with Maria does not help his standing in the lockerroom.
