CM Punk Calls WWE Superstar Bayley His Hero

by

Previously crowned WWE Champion CM Punk recently lauded Bayley, referring to her as his personal hero due to her relentless work ethic amidst a packed schedule. Over the last seven days, Bayley has demonstrated why she stands among WWE’s most devoted performers on the roster.

Her challenging week commenced at WWE RAW in Nashville, where she overcame Lyra Valkyria, thus securing a spot in the Elimination Chamber match. The very next evening, she squared off against Cora Jade on NXT in Orlando. Unfortunately, during that encounter, Roxanne Perez wearing her old Hugger attire, disrupted Bayley, leading to her defeat.

After that point, Bayley didn’t rest. On a Friday, she took part in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, held in Oakland, California. During the weekend, she entered the ring for the much-anticipated WWE NXT Women’s Championship Fatal Four-Way Match.

At WWE NXT Vengeance Day 2025, the main event saw Bayley competing against Giulia, Cora Jade, and Roxanne Perez. Despite putting on an outstanding display, she didn’t manage to secure a victory as Giulia pinned Roxanne Perez to keep her title. However, Bayley’s tenacity did not go unnoticed, with CM Punk expressing his admiration by referring to her as “My Hero” for her commitment.

How Bayley’s dedication to WWE earned CM Punk’s respect

Over the last grueling week, I’ve been in awe of Bayley’s unwavering dedication. To show my appreciation, I re-shared on my Instagram Story an image capturing her arrival at WWE NXT Vengeance Day 2025. In the caption, I penned a heartfelt tribute to acknowledge her tireless efforts.

Today, I’d like to highlight this extraordinary woman. She absolutely rocked it in Nashville on Monday, then moved on to Orlando and smashed it on NXT on Tuesday. This week, she’ll be playing in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game, followed by a long flight across the country to Washington D.C., where she’s set to headline tonight’s NXT event. She’s an inspiration to me, fueled by coffee, and totally in love with the hustle. I admire her. She serves as a role model. She’s my hero.

CM Punk is an advocate for the women’s wrestling segment and frequently showcases its prominent figures. He often spends time behind the scenes at NXT, providing advice and assisting in the development of talents.
