Drew McIntyre, the rival of WWE Superstar CM Punk, shared his thoughts on Punk’s segment with NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez. As WWE NXT prepares for its debut on The CW on October 1, CM Punk will appear in Chicago for the premiere episode. He also made an impact on the latest edition of NXT. Last week, WWE announced that CM Punk would make a special appearance to deliver an important announcement. On the latest NXT, Punk revealed his plans but was interrupted by Perez.
When CM Punk entered the ring, he praised the rising stars of WWE NXT. Roxanne Perez, who interrupted him, apologized and took a playful jab at her opponent Giulia before admitting that Punk is her favorite wrestler of all time. She then also took a jab at Punk, claiming she should have been a Drew McIntyre fan instead. This sparked a significant reaction from the fans.
CM Punk and Drew McIntyre are currently involved in a significant personal rivalry. Both stars are set to face each other at WWE Bad Blood in a Hell in a Cell match. Following Roxanne Perez’s interruption and call-out of CM Punk, Drew McIntyre has reacted to their confrontation on WWE NXT.
Drew McIntyre shows support for WWE NXT star Roxanne Perez
WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre has finally commented on Roxanne Perez’s confrontation with CM Punk. He took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Punk over the situation where Perez refers to Punk as her wrestling dad. He then praised the NXT Women’s Champion for supporting him rather than Punk.
In real life, Punk shares a close bond with WWE NXT stars Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade, who have frequently referred to him as their “wrestling dad.” After Perez’s jab, Punk responded by acknowledging that she may be the top female wrestler in WWE NXT. However, she will need to bring her best performance to Chicago to avoid losing to Giulia. Punk also revealed his significant announcement he will serve as the special guest referee for Trick Williams and Ethan Page’s NXT Championship match.
