CM Punk was in the spotlight yet again during the December 10 WWE NXT episode. The wrestling icon made it clear he had his eye on the main event, where Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez teamed up to face Giulia and Kelani Jordan.
Sharing a snapshot on his Instagram Stories, Punk posted a photo of the match with the caption, “The kids are alright.” As a nod to classic rock, he paired the image with The Who’s track of the same name from their iconic 1965 My Generation album.
Punk’s relationship with Jade and Perez goes back years, making his presence and attention a meaningful moment for the young stars. Cora Jade, in particular, has been vocal about her admiration for Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, even campaigning for Lee’s return to WWE.
CM Punk’s appearances on WWE NXT have been significant throughout 2024, including his role as a special guest referee for the NXT Championship match between Ethan Page and Trick Williams on October 1.
Recently, Punk’s Instagram Stories have sparked plenty of chatter. A past post accidentally revealed a match rehearsal from WWE Raw, and another showed his reaction to a viral meme featuring Roman Reigns from Survivor Series: WarGames.
Looking ahead, Punk is rumored to clash with Seth Rollins on the January 6 premiere of WWE Raw on Netflix, keeping all eyes on the former “Voice of the Voiceless.”
