CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns to be a gigantic showdown in WWE
The current sentiment within the WWE is that CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns would be a colossal showdown before WWE eventually proceed with the feud,
“The feeling right now is that will be gigantic at the time they choose to get there. Whether it results in Heyman leaving Reigns for Punk and Punk going heel and Reigns face, which was the speculation we got, there are multiple different ways to approach that. The key is to peak it timing-wise, although it’ll probably work big whenever it happens.”
CM Punk made his historic return to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames and it’s being considered as one of the memorable returns in the history of the company. He also set a WWE Social Media record by owning the most viewed social media post which was about his return. Plus, the merchandise release for this comeback also flew out of the gate, instantly.
