Eric Bischoff added that the segment on "WWE Raw" underlined the point that CM Punk would be on commentary far too much. He highlighted how Punk won't be ready to get in the ring anytime soon and questioned whether the larger audience would like to hear Punk on commentary.

"So I thought, as I'm listening to this — and I listen to it closely — I'm thinking, 'Man, they're spending a lot of time just to make a point that CM Punk's going to be in commentary.' Like, who the f**k cares, really? I mean if you're a big CM Punk fan, of course, you're gonna be happy. But it's not like he's going to go out there and do anything other than run his mouth. I don't know what the timeline is for him to get back in the ring. I'm guessing it's not going to be like a week after WrestleMania he's going to be in a match or he's going to be in a program," said the Hall of Famer.

Despite his criticism, Bischoff was pleased with the unscripted nature of the Punk, Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins segment.

"There were some awkward moments and reactions because my feeling was it was scripted but it was loosely scripted. I could be wrong, but it had enough peaks and valleys in terms of its quality. It didn't feel scripted. It wasn't as fluid as scripted promos tend to be therefore it felt real and I love that."
