Following an impressive title victory against Jordynne Grace at NXT Battleground 2024, Roxanne Perez verbally sparred with CM Punk off-stage, dubbing him a ‘hypocrite.’ Responding to the incident, fellow wrestler Drew McIntyre shared his thoughts on social media, penning down,
“Even folks who admired CM Punk during their youth are becoming weary of him.”
In another event at the same WWE NXT Battleground 2024, Lola Vice managed to secure a win in an NXT Underground match, defeating Shayna Baszler. After her defeat, Baszler spoke candidly during a post-match conversation, asserting,
“An NXT Underground Match, irrespective of winning or losing, is something only I can excel in. The outcome might not have been in my favor tonight and I might have a problem with the stoppage; however, I take pride in the effort I expended. I am optimistic that people realize nobody can quite match me in this.”
