"He’s been a positive light" - 2-time WWE champion on CM Punk's contributions behind the scenes
CM Punk's return to WWE as an active performer after the injury has been on the audience's mind for a while. Current NXT Champion Trick Williams recently spoke about The Second City Saint and his contributions behind the scenes on the white and gold brand.
CM Punk has largely contributed to the weekly product heading into WrestleMania XL in Philadelphia. After getting injured at Royal Rumble 2024, The Second City Saint continued to appear on Monday Night RAW as he feuded with Drew McIntyre.
However, the veteran has often been spotted at the developmental brand. During an interview with Adrian Hernandez, the former North American Champion and current NXT Champion spoke highly of CM Punk and detailed The Best in the World's contribution to the developmental brand behind the scenes.
“Mentor is a perfect way to put it, man. He has been a blessing for all of us who would take the time to actually go talk to him and reach out to him. He’s helped me with a few things that I feel like, if the crowd knew about it, they would be very grateful that he did. I’ll just leave it there. Shoutout to CM Punk. He’s been a positive light for all of us here in NXT," said Williams. [H/T: Wrestling News Co]
