Roman Reigns Taunts CM Punk on Tonight Show as WrestleMania Hype Escalates

He casts his training as strict discipline with emotion as a rare weakness.

Overview

  • Reigns used Thursday’s Tonight Show to call CM Punk “old” and declare himself “a way bigger star.”
  • The feud spilled into violence on Raw earlier this week when Reigns attacked Punk and powerbombed him through the announcers’ table.
  • Both Reigns and Punk are listed for Raw at Madison Square Garden next week, setting up another on-screen clash before WrestleMania 42.
  • In a street interview covered by TMZ, Reigns detailed “three-a-days” and strict meal prep with no cheat meals, then warned that emotion could make him miss.
  • The title bout is slated to headline one of WrestleMania 42’s two nights in Las Vegas on April 18-19 after Reigns won January’s Royal Rumble to challenge the reigning champion.
