CM Punk has been a changed man ever since his return to WWE in 2023. He came back with a new attitude. One of the key aspects was his behavior towards his peers and upcoming talents. The Best in the World has shown tremendous respect and love for the young talent through his appearances on NXT. Recently, a top NXT star expressed her gratitude to the Second City Saint for such gestures at events.

Speaking with TVInsider, Roxanne Perez talked about her bond with Punk. She said that she is really grateful to the Straight Edge Superstar for being kind and helping towards her. She admitted that it has been a pleasure for her to be under his wing and get such a wide range of knowledge.

He is always stopping by the NXT [premium live events] to sit and watch the whole show and be there after our matches to give us all advice, which is something he does not have to do. He just does it.

The NXT Women’s Champion added that although it is not his duty to guide her and the other NXT stars, he does that just because of his love for professional wrestling. The Best in the World has been spotted a number of times with Perez and her friend Cora Jade since his return. He considers them his wrestling daughters. Therefore, he has often been found training with the two.

The best part about CM Punk and CM Punk's promo is it's real. He also stops and he listens to the crowd and he listens to the people ... He stops and he listens to the crowd. He pauses. He acknowledges. He doesn't just continue on scripted promo.
