From the past few weeks, CM Punk has been trending over the social media as he’s expected to debut AEW on Friday’s Rampage event. And it was interesting that Roman Reigns made those comments on Punk ahead of rumors of AEW Debut.
Tribal Chief Roman Reigns further stated that he’s not going to complain about John Cena getting title shot but he’s going to capitalize Cena’s momentum in order to create a compelling storyline for one of WWE’s most significant events of the year.
“I’m not going to complain,” Reigns added. “I’m just going to capitalize on him being here and everything that he brings with that. That’s my goal. That’s the whole gimmick to me. This is John Cena. Why wouldn’t I want to be in the ring with him? Why wouldn’t I want him to come to me? This is the biggest movie star of the summer right now. He came to me. He came to Roman Reigns. He wanted to be in the ring with me. So, I’m not going to complain about that.” (H/T: Sportskeeda)
