CM Punk and Bayley have expressed their admiration for one another several times, while the latter has tried to convince Punk's wife, AJ Lee, to come out of retirement and return to WWE after a decade.

CM Punk once called Bayley his 'hero'

Back in February, The Role Model had to work multiple shows on RAW, NXT, and the Vengeance Day Premium Live Event, while also attending and participating in the Celebrity Game at the NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco.

Bayley made four appearances in seven days, and her impressive work ethic got high praise from fellow superstars and WWE fans. One of them was The Best in the World, who took to his social media and praised the former Women's Champion, calling her his 'hero.'

“I want to spotlight this lady today. Tore it up Monday on RAW in Nashville, flew to Orlando and crushed it Tuesday on NXT. Is in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game Friday, then flies all the way across the country to DC and will main event tonight’s NXT show. Inspirational. Fuelled by coffee. In love with the grind. I see you. Role model. My Hero," CM Punk wrote on Instagram. (H/T Yahoo Sports)

Bayley is currently in a feud with Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch, and wants to dethrone the latter and become the new Women's Intercontinental Champion.
