CM Punk's return on WWE Backstage tonight was kept a secret from everyone on camera with the exception of Renee Young as a way to prevent the return from leaking. Obviously, FOX was successful.
PWInsider.com has confirmed that Punk agreed to a deal with FOX but has not signed anything with World Wrestling Entertainment as of this writing.
The decision to bring Punk on was 100% a FOX call, but we are told that WWE gave the return their personal blessing. The two sides had circled on a deal but it was finally agreed upon within the last few days.
Punk will be appearing regularly on WWE Backstage going forward, but will not be on every week we are told.
The return led to CM Punk's name and WWE Backstage trending on social media.
