• CM Punk Open To Facing Roman Reigns At WrestleMania 37
Former WWE wrestler CM Punk recently did a Q&A session on Twitter.
One fan asked Punk if he’ll be open to facing current Universal Champion “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 37.
Punk said he’ll be willing to face him in the opening match, not the main event as the show is very long.
On the other hand, Reigns was asked about this potential match last month on the Complex Load Management podcast.
Reigns didn’t have many good words to say about his former rival, but he said he’d be down to facing him.
Here’s what Reigns said:
“All the way from someone as big as The Rock, to someone like CM Punk, for instance, someone who really hits home with our home audience, our hardcore fans. If you’d watched wrestling for the past 10 to 15 years, and you love it, and it’s within your blood, then you probably have some kind of feelings about that guy. I know I do; just by doing one of these things, he made my job a lot harder.
If it’s something that the fans can get behind, and that it can really make them seek their teeth into the product, and really dive into the creative with us, I’m willing to do it.
I don’t like the guy, I don’t know many who do, but I’m willing to put business first and make really good content if that’s the case. He’d probably have to get slapped around a few times in order to get his mind right, but if he’s willing, and the fans and the audience [are] going to like it and be into it, then most likely I’m going to be into it.”
Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk happened on the Old School RAW episode on January 6, 2014, where Reigns beat Punk. You can watch it below:
