Report: CM Punk Receives More Backstage Heat

There’s apparently more backstage heat on Punk

Although not confirmed, according to several sources in contact with the Wrestling-Observer Newsletter, CM Punk earned himself more backstage heat.

After learning that he was booked to lose on a house show card, the report says, Punk reportedly asked the road agent if the reports of him being in WWE’s doghouse were true. The agent denied the idea that there was heat on Punk, but then told colleagues about the conversation, which exacerbated their ill-feelings of the wrestler.

Of course, because wrestlers like Carlito, Rob Van Dam and Shelton Benjamin have received heat for “no-selling” being booked in jobs, one has to wonder if Punk had a viable option in this situation, notes the Observer.
