CM Punk comments that he’s in a different frame of mind than he was last night on Monday Night RAW. The Chicagoan feels great about showing up on the yellow brand, and the crowd is reciprocating their support. He remembers when he was in rehab, he would sneak into the Performance Center and many would recognize him. Punk comments that he enjoys watching NXT because he likes to see the development of the superstars of the future. He knows that at some point he’ll go toe-to-toe with guys like Lexis King , Carmelo Hayes – who is shining on SmackDown, Ethan Page and he’ll probably face Bron Breakker . There’s also Je’Von Evans , who Punk comments that has older shirts than him.

“The Best in the World” contacted Shawn Michaels to request to be present at the Chicago episode of NXT and reveals that HBK gave him license to do whatever he wants at that event, but Punk can’t continue with his announcement because ROXANNE PEREZ interrupts. Perez apologizes, but the 13-year-old Roxanne would be proud to be sharing the ring with CM Punk; Perez declares that he has always admired the Chicagoan, he was her guide, but declares that she always preferred his wife. She was excited to see Punk return to WWE after ten years. But Roxanne finally realized that she must have been a fan of Drew McIntyre. Surely Punk is here for one last moment of glory before the Scot ends his career. Roxanne assures that when she defeats Giulia, Chicago will no longer be Punk’s land and will belong to her. “This is not about you, it’s not about Giulia. This is only about me!” Roxanne says.

CM Punk wants to respond, but Roxanne won’t let him, saying she should just tell when she’s lying because a wise man once said “I’d rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I’m not .” Punk isn’t upset by Roxanne’s interruption, he understands what it’s like to be a champion and always want to prove something. That drive made him the best in the world, and the title Roxanne carries probably makes her the best in the world. Punk saw Iyo Sky vs Bianca Belair yesterday , and Roxanne might be better than either of them, but none of that’s going to matter when Giulia kicks her ass. Punk doesn’t know who Giulia is and he’s not here for Roxanne, but they can talk about the Japanese girl since that irritates a certain someone…

GIULIA APPEARS! “Roxanne, the countdown is on. You have two weeks left ,” Giulia says and leaves. Roxanne Perez tries to attack Giulia from behind, but CM Punk doesn’t allow the NXT Champion to do so.
