The Tribal Chief is going after a title he has never won
before – the WWE World Heavyweight championship – at
WrestleMania 42.
In a show-closing segment on Raw last night, Roman Reigns
told Punk he’s choosing him to face at WrestleMania because
he hates him, and at WrestleMania, Punk will acknowledge
him.
“There’s two mountains to climb in front of you, and yeah,
one is the easy way out because, one is a guy who you think
you can beat, and the other is a guy that you know on your
best day you can’t touch because he’s the best in the
world,” Punk told Reigns.
Punk taunted Reigns and told him he could “climb Mount
Everest without a Sherpa” and go after the man that has made
that title in his absence, obviously referring to himself.
“Let’s get one thing straight, you make it all these towns
because you took a 10-year vacation,” Reigns said. “And the
second thing, I learned from you? The only thing I learned
from you is what not to do.”
Reigns said that two years ago, when they wanted to bring
Punk back, they went to him to see if it’s all good and Punk
was there because of him.
The OTC berated Punk for going on his “best friend’s
podcast” 10 years ago and made his life harder than it
should have been, he let him back, he took his Wiseman, he
brainwashed his cousins, and almost managed to brainwash him
as well at WarGames.
“I’m picking you because I hate you. I always hated you. And
WrestleMania is going to be the best day of my life because
in the main event, you will acknowledge me,” Reigns
concluded.
