WWE veteran calls CM Punk a "desperate little b*tch" after his backstage RAW visit
CM Punk's recent backstage WWE RAW visit has had the internet up in arms ever since it was first leaked, and Eric Bischoff hasn't missed out on all the talk. The WWE Hall of Famer recently commented on Punk's actions and declared that he doesn't have any respect for him.
Bischoff and Punk's heat was notably put under the microscope when the two got into a lengthy social media spat after The Second City Saint signed with AEW. The two men seemingly have an ideological disagreement, as the tension between them has never really subsided.
Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff ruthlessly slammed CM Punk.
"What a desperate b*tch. Maybe because I have zero respect for him [CM Punk]. To me, it just came off as a desperate move for attention. When controversy works in your favor, it's great, but controversy can also have blowback. But to me, he just comes off as a desperate little b*tch, which is really what he is. He's a whiny, overrated b*tch." [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
“Why would they even want CM Punk back?”
Dollars and Cents. That’s why. It’s a business, not a friends hangout group. If everyone can get along and be friends in the business, even better, but that’s not the be all end all. It’s about money.

While some on the All Elite Wrestling roster reportedly don't want CM Punk to return to the locker room, former AEW star Joey Janela invited the veteran to GCW's locker room on the condition that he finally watches the Rocky movie series.

During the same episode, Bischoff recalled Punk's words during the heated AEW All Out 2022 media scrum and how it made Tony Khan look.
"He made Tony [Khan] look like the smallest piece of trash I can imagine, and you're gonna bring that guy back because somebody's going to pay you a lot of money to do it? Good for you, man. I wouldn't do it. It's not worth it." [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
It remains to be seen whether the rumors of his impending return are true, but across the past few weeks, it seems like The Second City Saint will make his return to AEW shortly.
