CM Punk addressed recent comments from Roman Reigns during an appearance on ESPN’s Get Up, days before their scheduled match at WrestleMania 42 Night 2. The exchange comes after a Reigns promo that gained attention online.
During the interview, Punk described Reigns as a top-level competitor with established credentials. At the same time, he framed their WrestleMania match as a contrast in styles, referencing different approaches to performance within WWE programming. Punk acknowledged Reigns’ promo, but also questioned the delay in response and assured he would send Reigns to the Orthodontist (via F4WOnline).
CM Punk responding to Reigns’ promo:
“My response is: man, I wish he brought that energy the days he actually decided to show up on a couple of Mondays,” Punk said. “Look, I take nothing away from Roman. Tremendous superstar, he has the credentials. He’s a heavyweight. He’s going to be a tough out for me. But I am not looking to lose on Sunday. I’m sure he isn’t either. But this is about pro wrestling versus cinema. I’m glad that he had four days to shower and think about what he would say to me in a rebuttal, and did it in a car while I wasn’t around. But I’m going to be around and in his face on Sunday. I’m going to send him to the orthodontist. I’m going to make his orthodontist a very rich person.”
On what to expect at WrestleMania 42:
“We’ve run into a little bit of trouble running the same venue twice in a row,” Punk told Get Up. “But, logistically, for me, I’m selfish. It’s fun for me. I like Vegas. There’s great food. There’s great atmosphere. You can always do something at any time of day. “But we want your sights focused on Saturday night and Sunday night, Allegiant Stadium, for WrestleMania. Because this is going to be our biggest show of the year. We always like to say it’s our Super Bowl. I like to say the Super Bowl is the NFL’s WrestleMania.”
WrestleMania 42 is scheduled as a two-night event, with Punk vs. Reigns positioned as the main event on Night 2.
