Figured this was of note to share. Seems like Booker was either joking or just outright lying:
CM Punk was backstage at this week's NXT, and as previously reported, kept a lower profile than his previous visits to the developmental brand. Earlier this week, Booker T shared a story on his Hall Of Fame podcast, claiming that he and Punk had "almost gotten into it" backstage at the taping.
In speaking to sources within NXT, Fightful's Corey Brennan was told there was a feeling of skepticism regarding Booker's comments, with no sources being aware of the confrontation prior to his podcast. One source pointed out that Punk has not had any issues backstage since his return last year, and expressed surprise that Booker would make such a claim without offering more context. Security was also not made aware of any such confrontation, with no talk of such an incident.
In addition, NXT sources told Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp that Punk has been very helpful and open to lending a hand any time he's been backstage at NXT since his return to WWE.
Punk was said to be in good spirits at the taping and largely kept to himself outside of speaking with Shawn Michaels, Matt Bloom and a few members of the NXT roster. One talent Fightful spoke with flat out denied the incident taking place, pointing out Booker's previous claims of heat between he and Corey Graves that turned out to be false.
There was a sense of frustration from those Fightful spoke to that Booker would make such a claim about Punk, given Punk's history with backstage altercations.

Booker T is garbage. Wish people would stop giving him a platform.

Sad that Booker continues to make an ass out of himself. Man's a compulsive liar and a shit person to boot

It's that time of the month for Booker to make an ass out of himself again.
Now we wait for his one good point in a sea of shitty takes.

Booker T talks a lot of shit for a guy whose best contributions to the product is yelling things in rhythm to Trick Williams' entrance theme.

Why do you need to pretend to get in a confrontation with Punk? He's the easiest person to bait.

If this is true, Punk should take Booker to court for defamation. A nice little million dollar lawsuit will loosen the truth out of Booker's lips real quick.

Stop trying to work everybody, Book. Nobody cares about a long-retired commentator trying to work the fans.

Didn't realize my first ever post on this forum would be asking this question....
But what makes Booker a shitty person?

Why would he want to agitate Punk? It is almost gaslighting.

Making up bullshit about Punk knowing the circumstances that led him to be fired from the place he was in before returning to WWE is part of that.

If Booker told me that it was 80° and sunny outside, I'd make sure to wear a hoodie and bring an umbrella with me.

The Punk as South Park Russell Crowe sig remains in mothballs.
All in good time.

He has some really shitty takes, it usually goes Booker T makes one good point, but takes two to three steps back with some really out there takes, like the one time he said Never lose your femininity. Never lose your sex appeal. There are a few other far out takes but that was the one that popped in my head

Idk if he’s a shitty person, but come on guys, you saw that Weakest link episode 23 years ago. Book isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

I mean it's hard to judge the situation one way or another right now. Booker said something and WWE sources are essentially going "come on...come on...Punk has been great"
