CM Punk Vs. Roman Reigns At WrestleMania 42 | Key Points
- Roman Reigns beat CM Punk in a great WrestleMania main event. Surprisingly, there was no outside interference amid rumors of a Bloodline reunion.
Roman Reigns beat CM Punk in the WrestleMania Sunday main event. For the second year in a row, Punk lost in the main event. The crowd was mostly behind Reigns early, but the two pros worked Allegiant Stadium into a frenzy to where fans were split right down the middle. The match featured stair steps, table spots and even Punk absconding the Ula Falla and wearing the sacred necklace. Reigns outlasted Punk with multiple spears, and Reigns is once again a world champion.
CM Punk and Roman Reigns had easily the most deeply personal feud of any this WrestleMania season. CM Punk is the greatest of all time at making fans believe his feuds are real, because sometimes his feuds end up being just that. Roman Reigns offered up a fresh canvas for Punk to shower with insults as the two future Hall of Famer are finally faced off in a one-on-one match to close out WrestleMania.
Punk attacked Reigns for being a “plastic” nepobaby who had everything handed to him, while Reigns held his own with scathing insults of Punk’s hypocrisy and shortcomings in UFC.
“You’re just a buck-tooth nepobaby who ate dog food for a weird old man,” Punk said on the April 6 broadcast of Raw in arguably his best promo since coming back in 2023. Punk is an all-world promo who feeds off the energy of a live audience, which gave him a stark advantage over Reigns during live promos. But Reigns used his cool, calm demeanor to flame Phil Brooks in backstage segments and vignettes. Reigns’ best promo on Punk came from the backseat of his towncar.
“It blows my mind that you think we’re f—king equals. In which way?” Reigns began. “The whole industry coddles you just by having you in it. You talk about the old-timers? Those are tough guys. We’ve seen what happens when you try to be a tough guy,” answered Reigns who mocked the “hundred thousand internet marks that love [CM Punk.]”
