CM Punk has been an influential figure in WWE since his return last November. Apart from his involvement with the “WWE Raw” roster and feud with Drew McIntyre, Punk has also been playing a crucial role in mentoring younger stars in WWE NXT. Roxanne Perez, the current NXT Women’s Champion, spoke about the impact Punk has had on her behind the scenes. She expressed her gratitude for Punk’s guidance and credited him for taking the time to attend NXT premium live events and provide advice to the talent.
Perez described Punk as an inspiration, highlighting how she grew up watching him and now has the opportunity to learn from him directly. She mentioned that Punk consistently shows up at NXT events, watches the entire show, and offers advice to the performers, despite not being obligated to do so. Perez expressed her appreciation for Punk’s mentorship and mentioned how much she has already learned from him, looking forward to continuing her learning journey with him.
While Punk’s most recent on-screen appearance for NXT was at Deadline in December, he is set to make another appearance on October 1st when NXT moves to The CW and broadcasts live from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois.
