Roxanne Perez Drops CM Punk With Pop Rox at Manchester Live Event

AJ Lee publicly endorsed Perez's interference to lean into WWE's kayfabe family dynamic.

Overview

  • At the August 26 untelevised show in Manchester, Perez slipped into a six-man tag and hit Punk with her finisher during a referee distraction.
  • Despite the interference, Punk, Sami Zayn, and Penta defeated Judgment Day’s Dominik Mysterio, Finn Bálor, and JD McDonagh.
  • Perez tagged AJ Lee on social media after the spot, and Lee replied, "My daughter has never done a single thing wrong in her entire life."
  • The moment advanced Perez’s role as a key Judgment Day heel, with WWE amplifying the kayfabe parent–child framing around Punk and AJ.
  • The live-event angle feeds into WWE’s UK/Europe tour build to Clash in Paris on August 31, where Punk is scheduled in the World Heavyweight Championship match.
