On the March 23rd edition of Monday Night RAW, the closing segment of the show would once again feature Roman Reigns and CM Punk going barb for barb on the microphone, ending with The Usos and Reigns attacking Punk.
While speaking on the RAW Recap in a new interview, Big E spoke about the closing segment of this week’s WWE RAW, noting that if Reigns can not Punk away without the help of his cousins, it may be time to start questioning Reigns’ legacy.
“If we’re talking about legacy, legacy is not just about how many world titles you’ve had, but it’s also about how strong you are on the mic, it’s about your ability to stand on your own. I think, if Roman can’t do this without the cousins, without the Bloodline, I am not saying his legacy takes a hit, I’m saying maybe we start to question it. You could argue the Summer of Punk, that was a lot of Paul Heyman, the 400-plus day world title run from over a decade ago, Paul Heyman was there for that, but much of CM Punk’s career, he’s stood on his own two feet, and I think that’s a lot of what his argument is, ‘Look, Roman, you claim to be the greatest to ever do it, you claim to deserve to be on the Mount Rushmore, I wanna see you mano a mano…’ That’s what I was looking forward to, and that’s what I wanna see. I hope at some point, on this road to WrestleMania, one of these Raws, we don’t get any shenanigans, no BS, we get these two gentlemen, these two titans, standing face to face. Leave all the cousins, we know there’s 40-50 cousins, leave them all in the back. That’s what I would like to see as a fan.”
Elsewhere in the same appearance, Big E spoke about his reaction to Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar’s feud. You can read more about that here.
