• CM Punk Gives A New Nickname To Roman Reigns After Elimination Chamber

At Elimination Chamber 2026, CM Punk defeated Finn Balor to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. Both men shook hands after the match. AJ Lee came out to celebrate with Punk. Punk put his finger in the air to send a message to Roman Reigns. Punk vs. Reigns for the World Title is official for WrestleMania 42.

The OTC tweeted the following after Punk’s match: “Not sure who looked more tired — the crowd or the champion. Enjoy this final month of relevancy.”

On the Elimination Chamber post show, Punk addressed Roman’s tweet and gave The Tribal Chief a new nickname: Rusty Reigns. Here’s what the World Heavyweight Champion said:

“He’s got time to tweet, but he doesn’t have time to come to Chicago. Listen, Roman Reigns. Second highest arena gate record in company history and you’re not number one either.

19,346 people showed up in Chicago because I am a fighting champion and I will travel to Las Vegas and yeah, I’m going to be tired and yeah, I’m going to be beat up and I’m going to be bandaged, but that keeps me sharp on the edge where I need to be. And for me, the action is the juice.

You can sit at home and we’re going to call you Rusty Reigns. When you show up in Las Vegas and I got a GTS for you and every one of your stupid family members.”

Roman will appear on Monday’s RAW to address Punk.
