Roman Reigns To CM Punk: You’re Not A Fighting Champion. You’re Not Even A Fighter, We Saw How That Went
Ahead of WrestleMania 42, Roman Reigns has delivered another message to CM Punk.
Taking to social media, Roman is watching a recent interview with Punk, who mentions that he’s a fighting champion.
“You’ve defended the title three times. You’ve had it, what, the whole year? You’re not a fighting champion. You’re not even a fighter, we’ve seen how that went,” he said, referencing Punk’s two UFC fights.
He continued, “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. You don’t have that type of confidence because you’re not the type of man I am. You’re not cut from the same fabric as me. It blows my mind that you think we’re fucking equals. In which way?
“It’s only gonna take the first couple of minutes for the whole world to see there’s no way we could ever be on the same level. ‘Coddled.’ The whole industry coddles you just by having you in it. You talk about the old timers, those were tough guys. We’ve seen what happens when you try to be a tough guy.”
He closed by saying, “We put our whole reputation, the whole art form on the line for you because, what? 100,000 internet marks loved you from the beginning? Let’s go back to your journey days when you were on the indies. It was the shits. 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 fucking name out your mouth. On Sunday, it ends for you.”
