Roman Reigns addressed his relationship with CM Punk during a recent IGN video where he reviewed wrestling-related memes. When shown an image from Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 depicting him blocking Punk, Reigns offered pointed comments about their dynamic.
The physical confrontation captured in the image clearly resonated with the former Universal Champion, who appreciated the moment’s significance.
This got a lot of love, though. This is stupid, but this photo is good, and this moment was excellent. This has real meaning here… Punk can’t do s*** while I’m around.
The blunt assessment from Reigns adds another layer to the ongoing tension between the two high-profile WWE stars, which began when Punk returned to the company in late 2023.
The timing of Reigns’ comment comes as Punk prepares for tonight’s men’s Elimination Chamber match, where the winner will secure a WWE Championship opportunity at WrestleMania 41. Meanwhile, Reigns has been absent from WWE programming since Royal Rumble.
Speculation about a potential WrestleMania match involving Reigns, Punk, and Seth Rollins has circulated among fans. Reigns’ latest comments about Punk suggest genuine tension that could potentially be leveraged in a future storyline.
