Roman Reigns: “If I lose to CM Punk at WrestleMania, I don’t belong in WWE anymore – I’d say my work is done”
In an interview published to WWE’s YouTube channel, Roman Reigns discussed his upcoming WWE world heavyweight title opportunity at WrestleMania 42 against CM Punk. Here is what Reigns had to say during his closing remarks…
“For a guy who missed 10 years of work, he tells more people that he’s rich and wealthy than anyone I’ve ever heard on the roster. And who cares?
First of all, Phil, you missed 10 years of work. You’re doing okay, but you’re not rich, buddy. You’re doing pretty good—but what does it even matter if you don’t have a generation to pass it down to? Who are you going to give it to?
[What happens if Roman Reigns wins the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania?] I bring this place back to relevancy. I reset the standard. I already set the standard—it got screwed up. Somebody’s got to come in and fix it again, and that’s what I would do.
[What happens if Roman Reigns loses to CM Punk at WrestleMania?] If I lose to CM Punk at WrestleMania, I don’t belong in WWE anymore. I think if I were to lose on Sunday, I’d say my work is done.”
