"Mentor is a perfect way to put it, man. He has been a blessing for all of us who would take the time to actually go talk to him and reach out to him. He's helped me with a few things that I feel like, if the crowd knew about it, they would be very grateful that he did. I'll just leave it there. Shoutout to CM Punk. He's been a positive light for all of us here in "NXT."
Senior VP of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels has also spoken about Punk's presence in "NXT," explaining that he's provided a "unique perspective" backstage and has been very supportive of the product.
