Bobby Lashley talks CM Punk's return to WWE

[Chris]

Bobby Lashley says some members of the WWE locker room were "very against" CM Punk's return.

Lashley spoke to Steve Fall recently and was asked about Punk coming back to the company.

"I was actually leaving around the time when Punk was really starting to pick up a little steam. I mean, he was there but he really didn't do anything at that time. I know he had a big impact in WWE in his time there," Lashley said.

“I spoke with some of the guys that know him, (and I) got mixed feelings. Some people were very against it, some people were, 'You know, whatever.' But it's the land of opportunity. So, if he comes back and he helps out the show, that's the business side of it."

Lashley then revealed that he has a built-in angle with Punk if they were ever to cross paths in WWE.

"I don't really know Punk too personally and when I was fighting, he went to UFC, I put my money on him so he does owe me a little bit of money," Lashley said. "Twice! I was like, 'No, he can do it, come on!'"

Lashley continued to say that he hopes Punk is allowed the opportunity to earn his spot back in WWE rather than have it handed to him.

“I understand he has a big name, he's coming back and he's going to do some big numbers, but I hope they make him kind of work for some of the stuff," Lashley continued.

"I hope they give him an opportunity to kind of prove his loyalty to the business and some of the people in there just to let everybody know, some of the naysayers, some of the people that aren't too happy about him being there. I hope he has his opportunity to work his way back up to the top and not just given everything because he negotiated a good contract that allowed him to do that.”

Lashley is scheduled to wrestle on Friday's Tribute to the Troops episode of SmackDown in Providence, Rhode Island. He'll face Karrion Kross in a United States title contender tournament match on the show.

For the same reason, Bobby was talking about. You just simply put punk’s name in the dirt sheet headline. People will click on it, hoping they see something said there was juicy.
