Vince Russo Comments on the Overlooked Rivalry Between Reigns and Punk
Wrestling veteran Vince Russo shared his perspective on the recent segment during Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW podcast. Russo expressed surprise at the lack of a distinct storyline connecting Roman Reigns and CM Punk. He admitted to not recalling any significant history between the two, describing their interactions as a series of matches without a meaningful narrative.
“When Roman Reigns came in and he helps Jey up, then he goes over to Punk, I don’t even remember the Reigns-Punk history. I don’t remember it at all because it wasn’t a story. It all revolved around matches they had, and this and that and one match runs into the next. I’m like, what is the history between Reigns and Punk? I don’t even remember.” —Vince Russo
