WWE NXT World Champion Trick Williams has been thrilled with the efforts of CM Punk backstage as the Best in the World has been aiding young stars.

Since his return to WWE last year, Punk has been spotted multiple times at WWE NXT and has been coaching the talent on the roster.

On a recent edition of the “No-Contest Wrestling” podcast, Williams spoke about Punk’s involvement in the silver brand. He said,

“That dude, Punk, man, good dude, like, solid. You can just tell when some people are just genuine, and he’s very genuine.

“He takes pride in helping us, the next generation, to become the superstars that we need to be. He gives us real advice, too. He talks about how to handle yourself, in the ring, outside the ring, with everything it takes to become a Superstar.”

Punk was a part of WWE NXT’s debut episode on The CW Network, where Williams captured the NXT Championship from Ethan Page, kicking off his second reign.

Williams will defend the title against Ridge Holland at this weekend’s NXT Deadline pay-per-view event. Punk was on this week’s episode of WWE RAW and brawled with Seth Rollins.
