CM Punk’s visits to WWE NXT have been warmly welcomed by NXT Executive Producer Shawn Michaels. CM Punk has made numerous contributions by collaborating with NXT talent, and this collaboration has been a positive experience, as shared by Michaels in a conversation with Adrian Hernandez. The following are some standout points from the podcast:
Speaking about CM Punk’s frequent visits to NXT, Shawn Michaels has only good things to say. “He’s truly great. I’ve always held him in high regard and I deeply appreciate his input. Each one of us transforms over time in some way or the other. Failure to do so isn’t something to be proud of. We’re supposed to mature and improve with the passage of time and gaining of wisdom. He, like me, has come to value a second chance and wishes to alter some aspects of his approach. He’s ecstatic about where he stands now. Changing anything might cause a shift in his current position. That’s a perspective I always stand by. It doesn’t suggest that you haven’t erred or that you might not have wished for a different course of action. The journey travelled and the current position you’re in is phenomenal. All I can vouch for is his outstanding support for every endeavour at NXT and his immense pleasure to work with whenever he’s around.”
When asked about Punk and other talents’ willingness to contribute to the brand, Michaels says, “Upon entering NXT, the environment we desire is prevalent. We’ve fostered that. We’ll only settle for a positive ambiance that focuses on giving back and cultivating the future of this business that has been beneficial to us. If you can connect with this ideology, you have a place at NXT. If not, we don’t want your company. Irrespective of how you arrive at this viewpoint in life and career, if it’s a journey you’re willing to make and you yearn to have a positive impact here, our doors are always open- even more so on Sundays. He’s been truly supportive; it’s a joy to have him. He adds a unique element to our team. That’s our requirement. We need diversity. No single idea can be the final one. There are numerous creative ways to achieve our objectives in this work domain. Anybody willing to lend a hand deserves a shot.”
