CM Punk and the Usos faced off on Raw in a heated segment that got personal.

CM Punk will be putting his World Heavyweight Title on the line against Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns on Night 2 of WrestleMania 42 in the main event.

Reigns and Punk have now had a couple of electric face-offs on Raw, with each man once having the last word.

Their first promo came when Reigns decided to choose Punk as his opponent and ended with him stating that he would win the World Title and Punk would acknowledge him at ‘Mania 42.

The next time they met for a promo was last week on Raw, when the last word was with Punk, who, after being mocked and ridiculed by Reigns, took a below-the-belt shot at the OTC, saying that he would bury Reigns next to his late father.

This past Monday on Raw, The Usos, who are Reigns’ cousins, came out and demanded that Punk apologise. Punk spoke highly of Reigns’ father but didn’t apologise and insulted both Reigns and the Usos, and in turn got punched in the face.

Triple H Was The Mastermind Behind Usos And CM Punk Segment On Raw

It has now been revealed that WWE CCO Triple H was the brains behind the confrontation that took place this past Monday between Punk and the Usos.

The Wrestling Observer reported this, and WrestlePurists shared it on X.

With all the criticism The Game has been on the receiving end of in recent months, it will come as a relief to him and the WWE creative team that this segment was well-received by fans.
