CM Punk To Roman Reigns On WWE Raw: I’m Not Going To Call You Joe, That Would Insult A Real Samoan That I Love Very Much
CM Punk and Roman Reigns continue to trade jabs on the microphone.
Reigns was the first man out for the closing segment of Raw. He cracked a quick joke about that before inviting Punk to the ring. Punk was quick to fire a loose one at Reigns, saying that he refuses to call him Joe because that would insult Samoa Joe, who he loves very much.
Punk continued on and continued to insist that he’s in the head/mind of Reigns, who responded by joking that he’s on everyone’s mind all the time. After insulting his lack of main events in 2026, Reigns encouraged Punk to say something special to get the people going. Punk fired back by criticizing Reigns for not showing up on the March 16 episode of the show.
Reigns proceeded to lock in, saying that Punk is reductant for repeating the same shit. Roman also targeted Punk for not being a “top dollar player” like his wife, AJ Lee. Continuing on, Reigns said that Punk is great is playing mental games that won’t phase him, primarily due to the fact that he’s the most successful star that he has ever face. As one last shot to the gut, Reigns called Punk old and said that he’s a “try hard” that makes WWE look bad.
Punk finally snapped and punched Reigns in the head, sending him to the mat. The segment ended with multiple officials pulling away Punk as Reigns bragged about the situation in the ring.
