On this week’s WWE RAW, The Usos engaged in a tense confrontation with CM Punk, following an incident where Jimmy Uso punched Punk during the show. Jey Uso, Jimmy’s brother, addressed the situation for the first time after the altercation. The focus was on Punk’s remarks aimed at Roman Reigns and his family, which sparked the heated exchange.
Last Monday, on WWE RAW, CM Punk provoked Roman Reigns by referencing Reigns’ late father, Sika, in a way that escalated tensions. This verbal attack has intensified the rivalry ahead of their scheduled match for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42, which Reigns secured by winning the Men’s Royal Rumble Match for 2026.
The latest episode of RAW ended with The Usos demanding an apology from CM Punk over his earlier comments. Instead, Punk refused to apologize, fueling frustration for both Jimmy and Jey Uso. Jey broke his silence through an Instagram story, posting a brief message that appeared to convey his feelings about the situation.
“Lion Ish,” Jey wrote.

Bully Ray Critiques the Impact of CM Punk’s Remarks
Veteran wrestler Bully Ray commented on CM Punk’s controversial statement directed at Roman Reigns, describing it as forced and somewhat improbable. He expressed his views during an episode of the Busted Open podcast, questioning the realism and effectiveness of Punk’s line about “burying” Reigns alongside his father.
“The last line for me felt very forced. Maybe I’ll take back the word forced, it felt like it didn’t belong. It didn’t match the rest of the verbiage of the promo. I’m going to bury you next to your father. Are we to believe that CM Punk is going to kill Roman Reigns?”

This critique adds to the mounting tension around the buildup to their headline match scheduled for Night 2 of WrestleMania 42, where fans eagerly anticipate the culmination of this intense rivalry.
