The anticipation for WrestleMania XL is high, with The Rock set to headline Night One and his daughter, Ava, managing NXT Stand & Deliver.
While The Rock gears up for his match, Ava seems to have extended an invite to someone special for the event. Speculations suggest it might be CM Punk, considering their recent interactions.
A recent post on NXT Anonymous’s Twitter showed Ava on a call, expressing gratitude and excitement for someone joining the Countdown Show. She hinted that this person is like family to NXT, possibly indicating CM Punk.

Punk, recovering from a Royal Rumble injury, has been contributing to WWE with promos and pre-show appearances. Given his recent connections with NXT and past appearances, his inclusion in the Countdown Show seems plausible.
Ava’s conversation hinted at familiarity, recalling Punk’s brief appearance at NXT Deadline and interactions with Superstars. Punk’s ties with NXT have strengthened, evident from his training at the Performance Center and backstage camaraderie.
While Punk’s interactions with Ava and NXT are evident, his exchange with The Rock remains unaddressed.
Punk jokingly mentioned The Rock’s silence on his return during a recent RAW episode. Despite the banter, backstage discussions between the two are likely underway.
At WrestleMania XL, while The Rock headlines Night One, Punk’s involvement extends to commentary for the World Heavyweight Championship match. Alongside his role on the kickoff panel, Punk’s presence adds excitement to the event.
The possibility of Punk appearing on NXT Stand & Deliver heightens anticipation for WrestleMania XL, adding an unexpected twist to the pre-show festivities.
