Steve Austin adds that having CM Punk in WWE will be beneficial for the sports entertainment as he gives a great perspective, insights, opinion on every things related to it.

Last week, in an interview with ESPN, Steve Austin said that CM Punk was in a good shape considering that he was still having MMA training and he was excited at the idea of Punk returning to WWE.

"He's very opinionated, has a very knowledgeable opinion of the business, because of the roads that he's traveled and the level of success that he's had. And he's a really smart guy and he's a great promo and a great analytical mind," ESPN had quoted him as saying.

Austin had ended on the note that he was a fan of Punk and happy to see his return to WWE.
