Bayley says it’s nice to have CM Punk in WWE, and he looks very happy.
Bayley is good friends with AJ Lee, CM Punk’s wife, but even she had no idea about the former WWE Champion’s return at WWE Survivor Series until it was happening.
Speaking with Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, Bayley explained that she did not text Lee ahead of the show, and she was skeptical about the buzz regarding Punk’s comeback. She then recalled her reaction to CM Punk’s return to WWE. She detailed how she greeted him backstage.
“Someone has it on film somewhere, I’m watching the monitor and his music hit, I frick’n went crazy,” Bayley said. ” I’m like, no way did they actually do this. I ran into Gorilla [position] to go say hi to him and he was so happy.”
Bayley then stated that having Punk backstage is crazy. She noted that he looks very happy. Bayley also pointed out that Punk gives her the best hugs.
“To have him backstage is so crazy, to see him walking around,” Bayley said. “But he has the biggest smile on his face. He looks so happy. He gives me the best hugs. He’s like, ‘This one’s from me. This one’s from April.’ It’s nice to have him there but it makes me want her around. So I’m like, ‘Hey what’s up? What are you doing? Are you gonna hang out with us?’ ‘Sorry, I’m watching [our dog] Larry’”
