Current Champion Praises CM Punk As ‘Useful Resource’

Current Champion Praises CM Punk As ‘Useful Resource’ WWE

A current champion in WWE has praised CM Punk’s contribution to the company, calling him a ‘useful tool’ to the locker room and a huge resource.

Since his return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023, CM Punk has made many trips down to NXT, where he has mentored and coached various stars of the next generation.

Speaking to the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, current NXT Champion Oba Femi spoke about Punk’s trips to NXT, and whether he’s been able to speak to Punk.

He said:

“Yes, yes I have been able to. He gave me feedback on my match with Wes Lee, he gave me feedback on my match with Axiom, I remember him being present for those two. He’s been at so many more shows, but those are the ones I remember going to talk to him after my match. It’s always good to have someone who is currently active tell you things because they’re in with the times, they’re here experiencing the change in the winds and all of that with you.

“It’s kind of interesting when the older guys tell you stuff, it’s always good advice, but you can never forget that was their time and most of the stuff they would tell you is based on what they know. But, we’re in a very different time now. The old timers will tell you, kayfabe, protect the business, love the business, die for the business and all of that. It’s still the same way, but now, we’re at the point where we’re pulling the curtain back a little bit, we let the fans in on what we do and who we are outside of when we’re just on TV.

“CM Punk, long story short, CM Punk is a very useful tool, he’s honestly a huge resource and I hope the other NXT superstars see it the same way and it’s amazing to have him at the PC.”
