Backstage Update On CM Punk & WWE

– According to a backstage source, WWE has been calling late-night talk shows to try and get CM Punk booked so they can continue the storyline. They also plan on using Twitter and other social media outlets to keep CM Punk's name in the mix. There are no plans to mention his name on WWE TV though.

– During a recent meeting, WWE talents were told not to mention Punk's name in interviews for now. Prior to RAW on Monday, Justin Roberts announced that WWE management has banned the fans from chanting Punk's name. Of course, that led to fans chanting his name during the Vince McMahon RAW promo.

– There are only a very select people in WWE who really know what the deal is with CM Punk.
