The WWE Universe is extremely delighted to hear of CM Punk’s parting ways with AEW. As the doors are now open for him to step back into the Triple-H-led promotion, fans can’t stop themselves from pitching in ideas for his return. A recent idea has garnished the minds of the fans now.
Ryan Oguri, a user of ‘X’, took to the platform to revive the old rivalry between CM Punk and the members of The Shield. Sharing a clip from one of the most iconic segments from RAW, he wrote, “CM Punk and Roman Reigns must finish the story!” His idea was, in turn, supported by many users on the platform.

The episode comes from 2013 when The Shield was just on the verge of establishing its supremacy. Punk ignited the seeds of envy amongst the faction members: Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose. He called out Roman Reigns as “Number 1 in the Shield.” When Rollins objected, Punk went ahead to thrash him.
The Cookie Master also acknowledged the fact that everyone was cheering for Reigns, which explained that he was indeed the best man in the faction. Punk shares a bittersweet relationship with Roman Reigns inside the ring. This makes the possibility of them being involved in a feud quite high in the event that CM Punk joins WWE.
CM Punk recently hinted at feuding with Roman Reigns
CM Punk and Roman Reigns often shared the ring when Punk was signed to WWE. During his first run with the Stamford-based promotion, Punk’s last match was against The Shield. CM walked out strong in the 3-on-1 match at TLC after Roman Reigns speared Dean Ambrose, who is now known as Jon Moxley.
Fans couldn’t stop speculating about CM Punk’s WWE appearance after he teased them. In his recent AEW appearance, he walked out of the ring with his belt falling on his back, just as Reigns does. Before reaching backstage, he didn’t fail to raise his hand in a similar manner as The Tribal Chief does. This step has reached audiences who are excited to see him with Roman Reigns now.
With Punk’s rumored return, it would be the perfect opportunity for Roman Reigns to even the odds. With lackluster opponents for his WWE titles, Punk may serve as the best man for the business. What could be more exciting for the fans than to see CM Punk dethrone Roman Reigns as soon as he returns to WWE?
