Fightful Select has reported that recent comments from Booker T have received a level of skepticism.
On his Hall of Fame podcast, the former World Heavyweight Champion mentioned that he and CM Punk nearly “got into it” at a recent NXT taping at the WWE Performance Center.
Booker did not detail any further information, telling his co-host Brad Gilmore he would give more information in private.
The report states that no sources were aware of any type of incident taking place that day, with sources noting that Punk has been “on his best behavior” since returning to WWE last November and that he was in good spirits at the taping in question.
This has led to some frustration with Booker T over the comments from those who have spoken to Fightful, particularly considering Punk’s previous history with backstage altercations.
