Roman Reigns Fires Back At Cm Punk Ahead Of Wwe Wrestlemania 42

Roman Reigns did not take lightly to CM Punk’s latest comments targeting his schedule, calling himself a fighting champion and that he is coddled by WWE management. 

Reigns was evidently infuriated in his response on X to promote their fight on WrestleMania Sunday. He dismissed Punk’s claim to be a fighting champion citing he’s only defended it three times in his one year reign. He brought up Punk’s tenure on the indies and called it an embarrassment.

“You defended the title three times. You’ve had it the whole year. You’re not a fighting champion. You’re not even a fighter. We’ve seen how that went. Coddled? By management? Because I’m money! And they’ve known that since the beginning. I told them I’m an unsigned billion dollar check. Go back and find it. It’s in the archives.”

“You don’t have that type of confidence because you’re not the type of man I am. You’re not cut from the same fabric as me. It blows my mind that you think we’re f*cking equals, in which way? It’s only gonna take the first couple of minutes for the whole world to see there’s no way we could ever be on the same level.”

“Coddled, the whole industry coddles you just by having you in it. You talk about the old times, those were tough guys. We’ve seen what happens when you try to be a tough guy. We put our whole reputation, the whole art form on the line for you, because what 100,000 internet marks love you from the beginning? Let’s go back to your journey days when you were on the Indies, it was the sh*ts, an embarrassment. There’s not a legend in my family that respects you. You’re the reason we don’t let marks in the business. Keep my f*cking name at your mouth on Sunday it ends for you.”

Pat McAfee also responded to Reigns’ post against Punk. Their tension stemmed from Punk calling out McAfee for getting involved in WWE and indicating he was a corporate stooge.

“It’s all starting to come together for you IWC nerds isn’t it? Your time is up…  The Business is about to be saved by Randy Orton on Saturday night.. and then Roman will drive it home on Sunday Night”

Reigns and Punk will collide in the main event of Night Two at WrestleMania this weekend. After his Royal Rumble win, Reigns chose to face Punk stating that it stemmed from his hate for him. In the weeks that followed they had multiple face-offs in which Punk made personal remarks about Sika Anoa’i and the rest of Reigns’ family.
