WWE News: The story on CM Punk's backstage heat Submitted by Brian Cantor on Tuesday, January 30, 2007 at 8:30 PM EST
While CM Punk's initial months with WWE were plagued by heat from a few key members of the WWE power bloc, he now has heat with much of the lockerroom, the Wrestling-Observer Newsletter reports.
Management received multiple complaints from wrestlers who claimed that Punk carries a "main-event" attitude backstage despite being relatively new to World Wrestling Entertainment.
Sources say that Punk doesn't say or do anything inherently disrespectful, but his sarcastic attitude is not well-received by a lockerroom that does not believe he's earned the right to possess such an attitude.
The Observer adds that his relationship with Maria does not help his standing in the lockerroom.
