Update on potential Roman Reigns feud in WWE
There has been an update regarding a potential major Roman Reigns feud in WWE.
Speaking on a recent edition of Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, WrestleVotes provided an update on the company's plans for a rivalry between CM Punk and Roman Reigns. It was noted that the match was on the table, but the company would be sticking with Punk versus Rollins for now.
"I know the numbers from Survivor Series, the social numbers, really opened some people's eyes between Reigns and Punk. They were in the millions and millions of views. So, I know it's on the table. I don't think they're ready to pivot the plans to make that match happen at WrestleMania." [From 20:03 onwards]
CM Punk agreed to join the OG Bloodline's squad for the Men's WarGames match at Survivor Series last month in exchange for a favor from Paul Heyman. Punk joked that the favor from Heyman was he needed to use The Wiseman's Netflix password during the WWE RAW Kickoff Show earlier today.
It will be interesting to see what the promotion has planned for the match between Rollins and Punk next month on Netflix.
