CM Punk made his return to WWE television after an absence of almost six years on Tuesday night, appearing on the company's "Backstage" show in the United States.

The weekly panel program airs on FS1 and this week saw Punk make his debut with a role which has been the subject of speculation for some time.

The two-time WWE Champion arrived during the show's final moments, entering to the sounds of Living Colour's "Cult of Personality," Punk's entrance music during his storied in-ring career.

"It's as simple as this: Just when they think they've got the answers, I change the culture," Punk told the camera, before adding: "I'll see you here next week."
