CM Punk has responded to Roman Reigns’ viral car promo, and he was not exactly blown away by it.
Appearing on ESPN’s Get Up on Friday, Punk was shown a portion of Reigns’ social media video from Thursday morning, in which Reigns told Punk to keep his “name out of his mouth” and delivered a pointed message about their WrestleMania 42 showdown. Punk’s response was characteristically sharp.
“My response is, man, I wish he brought that energy the days that he actually decided to show up on a couple of Mondays. I took nothing away from Roman, tremendous superstar, he has the credentials. He’s a heavyweight. He’s going to be a tough out for me but I am not looking to lose on Sunday.
I’m sure he isn’t either but this is about pro wrestling versus cinema and I’m glad that he had four days to shower and think about what he would say to me in a rebuttal and did it in a car while I wasn’t around, but I’m going to be around and in his face on Sunday. I’m going to send him to the orthodontist, I’m going to make his orthodontist a very rich person,” Punk said.
Punk defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Reigns in the night two main event of WrestleMania 42 on Sunday, April 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
