Roman Reigns Calls CM Punk ‘Old’ And Claims He’s A Bigger Star During Tonight Show Appearance

Roman Reigns is continuing to take shots at CM Punk — this time on national television — as their rivalry heats up just weeks before WrestleMania 42.

During an appearance on the March 26 episode of The Tonight Show, Reigns was asked by Jimmy Fallon to address CM Punk directly. The Tribal Chief didn’t hesitate to fire off another jab, using the moment to mock Punk’s age and question his star power compared to his own.

Reigns leaned into the rivalry and suggested Punk was likely at home resting while he was out making high-profile appearances, reinforcing his belief that he stands on a bigger stage than his WrestleMania opponent.

“Phil, most likely you’re asleep right now. As you should be, you should be resting up because you need it. You’re probably a little confused at your old age, you’re probably wondering like, ‘Why is Roman there and I’m here at home?’ That’s because I’m a way bigger star than you. [hysterical laughing]”

The comment adds to the ongoing tension between Reigns and Punk as WrestleMania 42 approaches. Both men have been trading verbal shots in recent weeks, with their rivalry quickly becoming one of the biggest talking points heading into the event.

With insults now being thrown on late-night television, the rivalry between Roman Reigns and CM Punk shows no signs of cooling off anytime soon.
