CM Punk shocked the world of professional struggle when it appeared at the end of the Survivor series in 2023. It was its first WWE appearance in a decade after a fallout with the company.
Aside from a premature triceps injury that put it on the shelf for several months, the impact of punk on the next generation of talents has been palpable.

WWE NXT star Roxanne Perez posted several photos of her with punk when she looked for the superstar mentor since her return. She told PK Press Club Digital that it was only to have it.
“It’s great. The” best in the world “is not only a nickname. He is one of the best in the world,” she said. “So, to have it as a mentor and have there at NXT, it’s cool. And he doesn’t have to do that. He doesn’t have to move and come to watch our matches, and he holds there (gorilla position) each time a match ends, and he tells them comments.
“It’s just great. It’s great to have it there.”

Punk presented herself in NXT’s show in September, and Perez, when she was still the NXT female champion, had the chance to drop her own “pipe bomb” on him.
“It was great,” she said. “I think that is another thing that definitely solidified me like what I say. “”
Perez will seek to become a triple female champion of NXT at revenge day. She will be in a deadly four -way match against the defending champion Giulia, Bayley and Cora Jade.
