The WWE Universal champion, Roman Reigns, recently made an appearance on Complex’s Load Management podcast. Roman discussed a number topics, including a potential match with former WWE champion CM Punk.
‘The Tribal Chief’ would make the following comments:
“If I’m asked to build new stars, we need to build my character up a lot more, and that way we can really start diving in to building the future. I’m open to building up the mountain and letting the future climb it,” Roman said. “If we just want to create headlines and build really good TV, I’m into anybody who can garner that attention. Whether it’s someone like Dwayne, if there’s anyone to do it and anyone he would feel comfortable with in the ring and have the proper build-up who can rise to that occasion, there’s no doubt in my mind that I’m the guy. We’re definitely gonna have to crack a lot of eggs on the way to the omelet. That’s just good TV. Going forward and building a really dominant bad guy like myself and here comes the astronomical superstar. You have to really build it. All the way from someone as big as The Rock to someone like a CM Punk. Someone who really hits home with our home audience, our hardcore fans.
If you’ve watched wrestling for the last 10-15 years and it’s in your blood, you probably have some kind of feelings about that guy. I know I do. Just by doing one of these things, he made my job a lot harder 5-10 years ago. If it’s something the fans can get behind and sink their teeth into the product and dive into the creative with us, I’m willing to do it. I don’t like the guy, I don’t know many people that do, but I’m willing to put business first and make good content. He’d probably need to be slapped around a few times in order to get his mind right. If the fans are going to like it, most likely I’m going to do it.”
Roman Reigns also mentioned The Rock in the interview. It appears he is now well on his way to reaching mega star status like his cousin ‘The great one’, and like other former WWE mega stars Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, and John Cena.
A match with CM Punk would certainly be interesting. Many believe Punk himself was on the cusp of achieving that mega star status before leaving WWE in January 2014. Would you like to see Roman Reigns vs Cm Punk?
