CM Punk understands that the consequences to his actions will unfold on Sunday night at WrestleMania 42.
On March 2, CM Punk delivered one of the most shocking lines to end his promo battle with Roman Reigns when he mentioned that he would bury Reigns next to his father, Sika, who had passed away in June 2024.
When asked if Punk crossed the line by mentioning Reigns late father by Corey Graves for WWE, CM Punk believes he is doing what has to be done for his game plan of getting in Reigns head to work.
“I 100% crossed the line, because that’s what I do. I’m a gold medalist haitual linestepper because I will fuck with you and get in your head. I have all the respect in the world for Sika, Afa, all the Wild Samoans. He needs to be taught a lesson. Yeah, I crossed the line. I legitimately feel a little bit gross about it because it’s low-hanging fruit and I know I’m better than that, but I’m doing what I have to and I’m following my game plan.”
CM Punk is scheduled to be in the main event of WrestleMania 42 on Sunday night where he will put the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line against the 2026 Royal Rumble winner, Roman Reigns.
