WWE NXT star Roxanne Perez posted some photos of himself in Punk as he had been seeking superstar guidance after he returned. She spoke to Fox News Digital about what he was like.
“It's amazing. “The best in the world” isn't just a Monica. He is one of the best in the world,” she said. “So it's cool to be there on NXT with him as a mentor. And he doesn't have to do that.) Every time a match ends, he gives feedback there.
“That's great. It's great that he's there.”

Punk appeared on the NXT show in September, and when Perez was still the NXT women's champion, he had the opportunity to drop his own “pipe bomb.”
“It was great,” she said. “I think that's one more thing that solidified me as I say. I was able to intervene in one of the best promotions in the world, one of the best in the world.
Perez aims to become the three-time NXT women's champion on Vengeance Day. She will take part in a fatal four-way match with defending champions Julia, Bailey and Cora Jade.
