CM Punk’s WWE Backstage Return, Batista + Dana Brooke’s Date

CM Punk Scheduled For Next Week’s WWE Backstage Program

Former WWE champion CM Punk will return to WWE Backstage next week.

Punk, who made a shocking debut on the program recently, has not been on the past few episodes.

It is possible that part of the build-up to leaving Punk off was due to Seth Rollins appearing this past Tuesday night. The two have had a bit of a social media feud going since Punk appeared.

Rollins commented on the situation involving Punk, saying “I’m here. He’s not here and I’m not shocked.”

“I think I’ve exhausted all of my energy on the subject,” Rollins added. “I just don’t think it’s going anywhere. I think it’s time to move on to something that matters.”

Punk, of course, had a reply for that on social media, stating “no cornballs allowed.”

WWE Backstage airs each Tuesday night on FOX Sports 1 at 11 p.m. ET.

Dana Brooke, Batista Planning Date Night Soon

It appears as if the social media exchange between Dana Brooke and former WWE superstar Batista has turned into something more.

Brooke, appearing on The Bump, confirmed that the two will be going on a real-life date in the near future. Brooke said she had no issues with cameras following the two around for their upcoming date.

“I would love that,” she said (thanks to Wrestling Inc. for the quotes). “We understand each other’s lifestyles (and) schedules. We can relate on so many different levels as far as training and fitness.”

Batista confirmed that he was single again this past month, which drew plenty of responses from WWE superstars. He has been married three times and has three children.

Brooke had previously been in a relationship with bodybuilder Dallas McCarver until he passed away in 2017.
