CM Punk was absent from WWE Backstage this week and viewership dropped as a result.
The show had done 180,000 during Punk’s debut episode but without Punk, the episode took a considerable dip. This week’s episode came in at 121,000 viewers per Showbuzz Daily. That’s down nearly 60,000 viewers from last week.
