WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk has responded to Roman Reigns’ scathing post on social media yesterday.
In it, Reigns took issue with Punk mocking his limited work schedule.
“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,” he wrote on X.
Reigns wrote that Punk isn’t “cut from the same fabric” as him and in some ways is an “embarrassment”.
“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 s–s. It was 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—–g name at your mouth. On Sunday it ends for you,” he stated.
On today’s ESPN’s Get Up morning show, Punk fired back.
“My response is: Man, I wish he brought that energy the days he actually decided to show up on a couple of Mondays. Look, I take nothing away from Roman. Tremendous superstar, he has the credentials. He’s a heavyweight. He’s going to be a tough out for me but I am not looking to lose on Sunday. I’m sure he isn’t either but this is about pro wrestling versus cinema,” he said.
Punk gave a final warning to Reigns.
“I’m glad that he had four days to shower and think about what he would say to me in a rebuttal and did it in a car while I wasn’t around but I’m going to be around and in his face on Sunday. I’m going to send him to the orthodontist. I’m going to make his orthodontist a very rich person,” he said.
