Roman Reigns: We’re Living Off The Nostalgia Of CM Punk. The Magic And Mystique Is Gone

Roman Reigns delivers final words for CM Punk.

Reigns is set to challenge Punk for the WWE World Heavyweight Title in the main event of WrestleMania 42 Sunday.

Ahead of the event, Reigns spoke with Michael Cole, and was asked what it is about Punk that irks him.

“What irks me the most is I put in all that work to get us to the point where we could move on from people like CM Punk, John Cena, The Rock. I got it to a point where we were so strong within our own full-time roster, and now I look around and its a retirement act here, a retirement act there. We’re living off this nostalgia of CM Punk and it’s not 2012. The magic and the mystique of him is gone now. He’s just a regular guy. That’s what pisses me off the most. I put my soul into lifting this company up, and the people who were supposed to be able to carry that equity shit the bed. That’s what irks me. Punk is what he is. He’s tried his hardest in the last two months to affect me, my status, my product, my superstardom, all of it. He can’t,” he said.
