CM Punk made another appearance on WWE Backstage. He was seen discussing the upcoming PPV and the Royal Rumble matches. When asked about who he thinks will win the Men’s Royal Rumble match, CM Punk picked Keith Lee. The Best in the World said that Keith Lee proved himself last year and he kept on delivering his best. He said that Keith Lee’s performance in Survivor Series was amazing and the moment he shared with Roman Reigns after the Survivor Series match was incredible. CM Punk then revealed that he would love to see Keith Lee eliminate Brock Lesnar from the Men’s Royal Rumble match.

“You see the little moment he had with Roman Reigns. That already feels like it was two years ago. We gotta get going with Keith Lee. I think he needs to chuck Brock over the top rope and win the whole thing," said CM Punk.
