Roman Reigns has issued a pointed message to CM Punk ahead of their highly anticipated match at WrestleMania 42. In a recent explicit promo shared from his car, Reigns criticized Punk for believing they are equals in the wrestling world. He dismissed Punk’s entire career as “the s–ts,” referencing his journey from the indie circuit to mainstream wrestling.
Confrontation Before WrestleMania 42
Reigns was particularly vocal about Punk’s claim of being a fighting champion, taking a jab at Punk’s unsuccessful mixed martial arts career. “You’re not even a fighter. We’ve seen how that went,” stated Reigns, highlighting Punk’s limited title defenses since winning the championship on November 1. Punk has only defended his title three times on television.
Ongoing Rivalry
The rivalry between Reigns and Punk has intensified in the lead-up to their WrestleMania clash. The two have exchanged verbal and physical confrontations in recent weeks. During a recent episode of Raw, Punk expressed his envy of Reigns’ career successes, which include ten main event appearances at WrestleMania and a championship reign spanning from 2020 to 2024.
- Reigns’ Championship Reign: 2020 – 2024
- Punk’s Title Defenses: 3 since November 1
- Main Event Appearances: 10 WrestleMania main events (excluding 42)
Reigns concluded their latest confrontation by asserting that Punk must acknowledge him and that he intends to leave Las Vegas with the world heavyweight title. Fans will witness the culmination of this heated rivalry on Sunday night at WrestleMania 42, where they will finally determine who is the superior wrestler.
