Arguably essentially the most heated rivalry going into WrestleMania today is the feud between Roman Reigns and CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship. To this point, each men have been in a position to draw from their real-life animosity prior to now and use it to further their storyline, but things reached a boiling point last week on “WWE Raw” when Punk said to Reigns, “I will bury you next to your father,” as he referred to the “OTC’s” dad, Sika Anoaʻi, who passed away almost two years ago. The road immediately went viral following the segment, but not everybody was pleased that the death of a legend was used for entertainment, as WWE Hall Of Famer Kevin Nash aired his frustrations over the promo during a recent edition of “Kliq This.”
“I don’t love that,” Nash said. “I mean, I’m not even going to f*****g make reference to it because whosoever idea it was on any level, if death is funny, may it’s on the doorstep the following f*****g day.”
Last night on “Raw,” The Usos confronted Punk and demanded an apology for his comments about their uncle the previous week, but were adamant that they weren’t sent on Reigns’ behalf. Even though it initially gave the look of Punk was going to make amends, he as an alternative apologized that Reigns never took responsibility for manipulating them in The Bloodline for years, which caused Jimmy Uso to deliver a stiff right hand to the “Best In The World” to shut the show.
