CM Punk is excited to see Roxanne Perez test herself against two major international stars, Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia, who are slated to join WWE.
CM Punk is a fan of Roxanne Perez, the current WWE NXT Champion. Perez had made it no secret that she was a fan of CM Punk when she was younger and that AJ Lee, Punk's wife, was one of her biggest inspirations.
Since his return to WWE, Punk has trained with Perez and now says that he believes she is the present of WWE. As far as the future, he's looking forward to seeing her mix it up with the big names heading into WWE NXT before taking on all of the challenges of the WWE main roster.
"Roxanne Perez is the present. As far as the future, the future looks good for her, too. Uber talent, head on her shoulders. The sky is the limit. I want to see what she can do on the main roster. I know there are some heavy hitters coming in NXT. Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia is coming. If they’re going to NXT, I want to see them mix it up with Roxanne Perez. That’s going to be some dynamite stuff," said Punk during a Fanatics live signing at Fanatics Fest NYC.
Roxanne Perez has already acknowledged Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia on WWE NXT television, saying that she's confident nobody can wrestle the championship away from her.
However, on NXT programming, Perez has also been so bold as to call CM Punk a hypocrite. Learn more about their interaction after WWE NXT Battleground here.
