Roman Reigns didn’t hold back in what was possibly his final promo before he goes to war with World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk in the main event of WrestleMania 42 Night Two this coming Sunday.

Earlier today, The Tribal Chief posted a video on (FKA Twitter) in which he went all out on Punk. Roman took shots at his rival’s failed UFC run, laughed at the idea that they are equals, called his run on the independent circuit “sh*ts,” and claimed that no one in his family respects him.

Roman further added that the industry risked its art form by letting Punk in and signed off by declaring that it all ends for The Best in the World this Sunday.

Below is the breakdown of Roman Reigns’ explosive social media promo:

Roman Reigns takes a jab at CM Punk’s UFC run; mocks his World Heavyweight Title reign

“You have defended the title three times. You’ve had it, what, the whole year? You’re not a fighting champion. You’re not a fighting champion. You’re not even a fighter; we’ve seen how that went.”

“You’re not cut from the same fabric as me”- Roman to Punk

“Coddled? By management? Because I’m money, and they’ve known that since the beginning. I told them? I’m an unsigned billion-dollar check; go back and find it. It’s in the archives. You don’t have that type of confidence because you’re not the type of man I am. You’re not cut from the same fabric as me. It blows my mind that you think we are f**king equals. In which way? It’s only gonna take the first couple of minutes for the whole world to see there’s no way we could ever be on the same level.”

Roman Reigns claims the industry risked its art-form by letting CM Punk in

“‘Coddled!’ The whole industry coddles you just by having you in it. You talk about the old-timers; those were tough guys. We’ve seen what happens when you try to be a tough guy. We put our whole reputation, the whole art form, on the line for you because, what? 100,000 internet marks loved you from the beginning. Let’s go back to your journey days when you were on the indies. It was s**ts. An embarrassment. There’s not a legend in my family that respects you. You’re the reason we don’t let marks in the business. Keep my f**king name out of your mouth. On Sunday, it ends for you.”
