Two WWE Superstars have added a humorous twist to their social media posts today, playfully calling CM Punk their “dad.” The outspoken star recently provided commentary during the World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania XL.
Punk made a noteworthy comeback to WWE at Survivor Series 2023 after parting ways with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). His departure from AEW stemmed from a backstage altercation with Jack Perry during All In 2023, with AEW planning to air footage of the incident on Dynamite tonight.
Roxanne Perez secured the NXT Women’s Championship at Stand & Deliver over the weekend, and she shares a close friendship with the sidelined NXT talent Cora Jade, as well as a bond with CM Punk.
Cora Jade shared a snapshot on her Instagram story featuring herself, Roxanne Perez, and CM Punk. She amusingly dubbed Punk as their “dad,” suggesting they were giving him a hard time, as depicted in the image.

Former WWE writer reacts to CM Punk’s remarks about Tony Khan and AEW
CM Punk’s recent appearance on Ariel Helwani’s The MMA Hour podcast shed light on his views regarding All Elite Wrestling. Punk disclosed that he had approached Tony Khan about handling the situation with Jack Perry prior to the altercation.
During a discussion on The Wrestling Outlaws show, Vince Russo weighed in on Punk’s comments, suggesting that Tony Khan lacked the expertise to handle backstage issues effectively in AEW.
Russo emphasized the need for Khan to learn from his past missteps to avoid similar incidents in the future.
“Punk essentially said, ‘Tony Khan didn’t know how to handle the situation. He didn’t know.’ He approached Tony and said, ‘You need to do something, because if I do, you won’t like it.’ And Tony Khan said, ‘What should I do?’ He had no clue how to handle it. He wasn’t prepared. He was in over his head,”
remarked Vince Russo.
Punk, currently sidelined due to a torn triceps, continues to make waves on WWE programming as he recuperates. The timeline for his return to in-ring action remains uncertain.
