She stated her reason, saying that Punk was her favorite wrestler growing up. Perez even said she would like to face the World Heavyweight Champion in a WrestleMania main event.

“Honestly, probably CM Punk, because he was my favourite growing up… If I had the chance to wrestle someone, main event WrestleMania with a male wrestler, it would definitely 100% be CM Punk.” [H/T Metro]

Interestingly, Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, is a role model for Roxanne Perez. The two-time NXT Women’s Champion is often seen recreating The Black Widow’s mannerisms. The Prodigy has also said she would like to face AJ in a dream match.

Roxanne Perez has already done a promo with CM Punk

Ahead of her main roster debut, CM Punk visited Roxanne Perez in NXT. Although Roxy had never shied away from calling Punk her favorite, her heel persona clashed with The Second City Saint.

During a promo, The Prodigy even said she should have been a Drew McIntyre fan. This was a big jab at Punk’s rather personal feud with The Scottish Psychopath last year. Speaking to Metro in the same interview, Perez noted that this was her favorite promo so far.

Notably, the Judgment Day member has already hit her finisher, Pop Rox, on Punk this year at a house show in Manchester, England. It would be interesting to see if she gets to face The Second City Saint as part of a storyline as well.
