CM Punk’s Off-Camera Reaction To Devastating WWE WrestleMania Loss Revealed

CM Punk fought hard and gave it his all in an epic battle with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42.

The World Heavyweight Title was on the line at WrestleMania 42 with the Champion CM Punk going up against the #1 contender Roman Reigns, who earned his spot after winning the Royal Rumble match earlier this year.

The two feuded intensely afterwards with promo segments weekly on Raw, where they would put the other down with insults and offer their opposite perspectives, with Punk deriding Reigns for being born into the business through the Samoan (Anoa’i) royal wrestling family and Reigns calling him a hypocrite.

The promo segments later became brawl segments with each man coming out on top once, and on the go-home episode of Raw before WrestleMania 42, the two had a very different promo where truths were spoken, and the stage was set.

The match itself was a spectacular showcase of wrestling and drama, capping off night 2 of WrestleMania 42 with a bang. After several false finishes that had the crowd on the edge of their seats and even standing, Reigns delivered two deadly spears to Punk to seal the victory and climb back to the top of the mountain in WWE by becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion.

CM Punk Gives Reaction To Announcer Jackie Redmond Off-Camera

After the match on the post-show, the panel, which included Joe Tessitore, Corey Graves, and Big E, discussed the main event. When Tessitore went to Jackie Redmond, who was backstage for some reaction from the competitors, the announcer said that CM Punk had just. passed her by, and when she asked him the question of how he survived the match with Reigns, he simply smirked at her.

Tess, you guys just missed CM Punk.He just walked by and to be honest with you, I just looked at him and said “Punk, how? How did you survive that?”

And to be honest with you, he just smirked at me like he didn’t know the answer to that question but he stopped at the top of this ramp, he took a t-shirt from a fan, put it on, and then blew kisses to the crowd. He is devastated by this loss.

I dunno how he has any juice left but he looks like a man that is still willing to fight.
