Roman Reigns Makes Huge Announcement On WWE Future: “My Work Is Done”
Roman Reigns has issued a major statement ahead of his high-stakes clash at WWE WrestleMania 42.
The Show of Shows this year has multiple blockbuster clashes lined up, but none will top The OTC taking on CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Title in the main event of Night Two. Reigns earned the opportunity after winning the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble Match in Saudi Arabia.
CM Punk and Roman Reigns have done everything in their power to get the upperhand on the Road to WrestleMania 42. Be it personal jabs or physical altercations, fans have seen it all.
Roman Reigns recently sat down for an interview with Michael Cole on WWE’s official YouTube channel. At one point, Cole asked Reigns what would happen if he dethrones The Straight Edge Superstar at WrestleMania. The OTC responded with the following statement:
I bring this place back to relevancy. I reset the standard. I already set the standard, got scr*wed up. Somebody’s gotta come in and re-fix it. And that’s what I would do.
Michael Cole then switched up the scenario and asked Roman Reigns what he would do if CM Punk manages to walk away with the victory. Reigns took a brief pause and said:
If I lose to CM Punk at WrestleMania, I don’t belong in the WWE anymore. I think if I were to lose on Sunday, I’d say my work is done.
Roman Reigns doesn’t respect WWE icon CM Punk
As mentioned above, Roman Reigns and CM Punk have taken multiple shots at each other in recent history. A few days ago, The OTC buried Punk, saying that the latter is not a fighting champion as he claims.
You’ve defended the title three times. You’ve had it, what, the whole year? You’re not a fighting champion. You’re not even a fighter, we’ve seen how that went. Coddled? By management? Because I’m money and they’ve known that since the beginning, I told them? I’m an unsigned billion dollar check, go back and find it, it’s in the archives. You don’t have that type of confidence because you’re not the type of man I am. You’re not cut from the same fabric as me.
It blows my mind that you think we’re f**king equals. In which way? It’s only gonna take the first couple of minutes for the whole world to see there’s no way we could ever be on the same level. Coddled.’ The whole industry coddles you just by having you in it. You talk about the old timers, those were tough guys. We’ve seen what happens when you try to be a tough guy.
Reigns then also mentioned how no one in his legendary family truly respects CM Punk. He vowed to end the Chicago native’s reign at the top of the mountain in WWE.
We put our whole reputation, the whole art form on the line for you because, what? 100,000 internet marks loved you from the beginning? Let’s go back to your journey days when you were on the indies. It was the s**ts. An embarrassment.
There’s not a legend in my family that respects you. You’re the reason we don’t let marks in the business. Keep my f**king name out your mouth. On Sunday, it ends for you.
Can Roman Reigns back up his tall claims at WrestleMania 42? Or will CM Punk manage to outsmart one of his biggest rivals in WWE? Only time will tell.
