CM Punk returned to WWE Backstage this week alongside Paige and Renee Young, where the topic of Royal Rumble was the main subject of conversation. Punk revealed that he wants an NXT star to win the main match of the night, which came as something of a shock to the other stars in the room.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;He had a tremendous showing at Survivor Series, he, to me, is a big fish in a little pond, right now. Not to say NXT is little by any means, but I think you need to follow up on with stuff like this. You gotta strike when the iron is hot. You see the little moment he had with Roman Reigns. That already feels like it was two years ago. We gotta get going with Keith Lee. I think he needs to chuck Brock over the top rope and win the whole thing.&#8221;</blockquote>



Interestingly, the self-proclaimed Best In the World also revealed his pick for the Women&#8217;s Royal Rumble match and went for Sasha Banks.

Christian, Paige, and Renee also shared their choices with Christian choosing Brock Lesnar and Shayna Baszler, Paige going with Otis and Kairi Sane, while Renee Young put her money on Drew McIntyre.



Last night on WWE Backstage, CM Punk was asked about which match he was most proud of and instead of choosing a match from the beginning of his career, The Second City Saint chose his 2013 encounter with John Cena on Monday Night RAW.

Punk lost the match, which saw him push Cena to the limit for almost half an hour as well as delivering a piledriver, which was banned at the time.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;Ironically enough for a guy that calls himself the &#8216;Best in the World,&#8217; I don&#8217;t like talking about myself. But off the top of my head, I remember wrestling John Cena in [Dallas]… and it was kind of thrown together last minute and I was told that it was going to be for a shot at The Rock at WrestleMania. Becky [Lynch] is sitting here talking about chips on her shoulders, being hot, being cold… Michael Jordan had the &#8216;flu game,&#8217; I had the flu match. I was deathly ill for this. And I remember just laying on the floor being like, man I felt like I ran another marathon and I get to the finish line and I&#8217;ve got to hand the baton off to somebody else who runs the last .2 miles and gets to cross the finish lin.&#8221;</blockquote>
