TheOctober 8th episode of NXT took place in the Factory in Chesterfield, Missouri and it was brimming with talent from start to finish. Considering the fact that Stephanie Vaquer made her debut during the show, it was clear the company had a clear vision in mind for the future of the brand. The future of NXT is certainly something that CM Punk is invested in as well.
PWInsider reports that CM Punk was backstage at NXT in Missouri. He traveled with the NXT talents by bus to and from the show and provided advice to the wrestlers during the taping.
We have also reported thatCM Punk is not expected to appear for the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event on November 2nd, likely due to his stance on WWEs deal with Saudi Arabia. Nonetheless, there is no doubt that those in NXT were happy to see the Second City Saint impart his knowledge one way or the other.
