CM Punk Reacts to Roman Reigns RAW Promo Praise – CM Punk and Roman Reigns closed out the February 2 episode of RAW in Philadelphia with a tense in-ring confrontation that immediately sparked heavy discussion among fans. The face-to-face exchange was one of the most talked-about moments of the night and quickly gained traction online, with many viewers praising the intensity and delivery from both men.
Much of the reaction centered on Roman Reigns, as several fans labeled the promo one of the strongest performances of his career. The segment was widely shared across social media, with clips circulating and reactions pouring in throughout the week. That praise became a topic of discussion during Wednesday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show, where Punk was asked about fans calling it Reigns’ “best of all time” promo.
Punk responded without hesitation and remained fully in character while addressing the buzz.
“Imagine that, in the ring with CM Punk, bringing the best out of guys. Yeah, I’ve heard that before.”
Throughout his appearance, Punk leaned into the narrative surrounding his rivalry with Reigns, framing their eventual clash as unavoidable. He positioned the storyline as a collision between two figures he considers to be at the very top of the industry, suggesting that the path they are on naturally leads to the biggest stage possible.
“When you look at who is the biggest names in the industry, the top two are CM Punk and Roman Reigns so you want to see them in the biggest event, in the main event, at WrestleMania. So, we’re here now.”
Punk also touched on the uncertainty that existed behind the scenes regarding who Reigns would ultimately choose as his opponent. He admitted there was a period where he believed Reigns might go in a different direction, particularly toward Drew McIntyre.
“I wasn’t sure he was going to pick me, I thought he might pick Drew because I do legitimately believe Drew is the easier choice.”
The comments added another layer to the ongoing storyline, reinforcing Punk’s confidence while subtly questioning Reigns’ decision-making. With the tension between the two continuing to escalate, their RAW segment in Philadelphia now stands as a pivotal moment that has set the tone for what lies ahead.
