There are many pictures of the 24-year-old meeting the Best in the World at various events.She recently revealed that she used to be the first in line for every meet and greet with The Second City Saint, which looks crazy when looking back."He remembered me because any time he would do anything in Chicago, because I lived in Chicago and so did he, I would be the first in line for every single thing. Borderline crazy, now that I'm thinking about it. I probably scared him. [Met CM Punk] probably 10 times. I was there every time. It got to the point where he would remember me in the line and he would laugh at me because I would be first in line every single time. We laugh about it now. I'm like, Jesus Christ, I was a little bit crazy back then."Cora Jade's dream came true in 2023 when CM Punk returned to WWE. The former AEW star was often seen with the female star, Roxanne Perez, even outside of the wrestling business. Punk also showed support for Jade when she was released from the global juggernaut.
