Shawn Michaels speaks highly of CM Punk.
Since CM Punk returned to WWE in November 2023, he has made multiple trips to the WWE Performance Center to work with the young talent at NXT. He also appeared at NXT Deadline. Punk is scheduled to appear on the October 1st episode of NXT, which will mark the show's premiere on The CW.
Speaking on Good Karma Wrestling, Shawn Michaels was asked to discuss what CM Punk has meant to the NXT roster.
“I think the fact that he supports us is huge. I think the great thing is, he’s like a lot of us, he’s come to a point in his career where he recognizes, you know, just how great this job has been and how great this industry has been to him. You do you begin then to learn that you’d like to pass that on. So when he comes down, he’s always very supportive, is helpful. But what I appreciate most about him is that he always checks with our coaches, checks with me again, making sure that we’re all on a unified front. As you know, and pushing the same agenda, or same direction. I think that’s something that you can never beat, a guy that right now in this moment, a living, breathing, you know, global superstar like CM Punk, coming back and interacting with young talent because he’s everything they want to be. So that’s always going to be a positive because they see me every day. I am so not special around here. It doesn’t even matter. So it’s very beneficial for us when a CM Punk or a Cody Rhodes or a Drew McIntyre or a Seth Rollins comes down here and visits us because now they can talk to the guys that are firsthand doing it and letting them know what it is they need to experience,” Michaels said.
Michaels previously said that having CM Punk around was fantastic. Check out his comments here.
