Felix Upton on March 17, 2026
oman Reigns didn’t wait for the cameras to keep rolling before firing back at CM Punk following their heated confrontation on WWE RAW.
The March 16, 2026 episode of Monday Night RAW closed with Punk getting the upper hand, dropping Reigns after a tense war of words inside the ring. But once the broadcast ended in San Antonio, the Tribal Chief grabbed a microphone and made it clear he wasn’t backing down heading into WrestleMania.
Reigns addressed the crowd directly and took aim at Punk’s character, accusing him of saying whatever he needs to in the moment without actually standing behind it.
“Your Tribal Chief never lied to you. I’ve always kept it real, and there ain’t nothing real about that one there, I told you, he’ll say everything he can, but all you’ve got to do is jab him the right way and he’s a hypocrite.”
With WrestleMania on the horizon, Reigns shifted his focus to what he believes will happen when the stakes are at their highest. He made a bold promise about how things will play out when he and Punk meet on the biggest stage.
“At WrestleMania I remind him and the rest of the world who runs this company. At WrestleMania, in the main event, CM Punk will acknowledge me, and he will apologise to my family!”
Reigns closed things out by soaking in the crowd reaction and reminding everyone of his presence, reinforcing the larger-than-life aura he’s built during his dominant run.
“San Antonio, you’ve been wonderful, we love you. Look at this, all the way up huh? This is what happens when the Tribal Chief comes to town!”
The tension between Reigns and Punk continues to escalate with each passing week, and if this exchange is any indication, things are only going to get more personal before they finally collide at WrestleMania.
Do you think Roman Reigns is right about CM Punk being a hypocrite, or is Punk already inside his head heading into WrestleMania? Drop your thoughts and join the conversation.
