In a recent promo, CM Punk made a deeply personal attack on Roman Reigns, threatening to bury him alongside his late father, Sika. The remarks struck a nerve within Reigns’ family, provoking his cousin Zilla Fatu to vow retaliation the next time he crosses paths with Punk. This escalating conflict has intensified the ongoing feud between the two wrestling stars.
Drew McIntyre Shares His Perspective on Punk’s Controversial Comments
Drew McIntyre, known for calling CM Punk the worst person alive, was asked on the Complex Graps podcast whether Punk’s latest insult reinforced that view. Contrary to expectations, McIntyre responded with a measured understanding of the situation. He acknowledged that such provocative words are a strategic part of wrestling promos designed to unnerve opponents.
I mean, I can’t make comments about things said on the microphone to try and get in people’s heads!
McIntyre said.
I’ve said the worst things imaginable to people, and Punk is trying to get in Roman’s head by saying the worst thing imaginable. So, I imagine Roman’s going to come back next week and punch him in his face. And that’s probably what they need at this point, is not talk each other to death, is to start throwing some bombs. And I’ve been in the ring with both of them. I know how, you know, it kills me to say like how good Punk is and how good Roman is.
McIntyre Anticipates Physical Confrontation and Fallout
McIntyre further explained his anticipation for a physical showdown rather than extended verbal hostility. He highlighted the intensity of the conflict once personal lines are crossed, recounting his own experience with Roman Reigns, which involved years of hardship stemming from similarly harsh exchanges.
So, when they start throwing bombs, it’s going to be interesting. But he wants to get that personal. I know what Roman can do when you get that personal. I said some horrible things about him in the past. He made my life hell for years. So, I’m curious to see the fallout of that. I won’t watch it live. I’ll watch the clip because I’m focused on one thing, the show that’s been the better show since they had their little first showdown, and that’s Smackdown.
McIntyre Reaffirms His Stance on CM Punk’s Character
When pressed about whether he still considers CM Punk the worst individual in professional wrestling, McIntyre maintained his harsh assessment. While he acknowledged that politically there may be worse people in the world, within the wrestling arena, Punk remains his least favorite.
I mean, there’s probably like worse, you know, people if we’re going to get real political and stuff, which I’m never going to do, but in the world of professional wrestling, he’s the worst human being. Yeah.
