There were a few sizable insights that came from the November 12, 2019 episode of WWE Backstage. The biggest revelation was that CM Punk is officially contracted with FOX and is on a WWE program after departing nearly 6 years ago. He will appear starting next week, November 19, on WWE Backstage on FS1. However, this contract provides an avenue for him to potentially return to the ring for a match and WWE down the road.
It’s no surprise that The Miz and Paige have signed new contracts with WWE, but what is extremely surprising is that Johnny Gargano, or Johnny Takeover I should say, will miss NXT Takeover: WarGames because of a neck injury. WWE will need to get creative and find another way they can use Finn Balor at Takeover, because Triple H was clearly building towards a match between Gargano and Balor. I can’t see a scenario where the returning Balor is not used in some capacity.
