Roman Reigns laid into his WrestleMania rival CM Punk just days out from their WWE World Heavyweight Championship match.
In a video posted to X, Reigns was sat behind a automobile listening to Punk give an interview on being a fighting champion, versus the “Original Tribal Chief.” Reigns turned to the camera after seeing and hearing enough, noting that he had only defended the title 3 times since winning it November.
“You are not a fighting champion. You are not even a fighter. We have seen how that went,” he continued. He said that he had told the corporate from the start he was an “unsigned billion dollar check” and called Punk coddled by management.
“You do not have that kind of confidence because you are not the kind of man I’m. You are not cut from the identical fabric as me. It blows my mind you’re thinking that we’re f***ing equals. By which way?” Reigns said as he promised it will only take the primary couple of minutes to ascertain they don’t seem to be equals.
He continued, “The entire industry coddles you simply by having you in it. You talk concerning the old timers, those were tough guys. We have seen what happens once you attempt to be a troublesome guy. We put our whole status, the entire art-form on the road for you. Because what, a 100,000 web marks love you?”

Reigns said that Punk’s run on the independent circuit was “the s***s” and a humiliation, and there wasn’t a legend in his family that respects him.
“You are the explanation we do not let marks within the business. Keep my f***ing name out of your mouth.”
Reigns is seeking to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the primary time in his profession, having held the WWE and Universal Championships at a combined total of six titles.
