The April 13, 2026, episode of WWE RAW featured a powerful segment where Roman Reigns sent a strong message to CM Punk via a pre-recorded video package. The promo had a documentary-style feel and showed why Reigns vs. Punk has gotten more personal.
4 points Roman Reigns brings up about CM Punk in WWE RAW video package
1. CM Punk is a hypocrite
Reigns started by saying CM Punk doesn’t stay true to his own words. He stated that he told the WWE World Heavyweight Champion to “enjoy the relevancy” that he had left. But instead, Punk did what Reigns thought he would do. He “lied.”
Roman Reigns said that Punk tried to “revise” all of the Tribal Chief’s history. The Royal Rumble winner believes that Punk exposed himself as a “hypocrite.” Punk has been saying that Reigns can’t do anything of his own without the help of his cousins. The video then showed old clips of CM Punk’s alliance with The Shield to highlight these contradictions.
Punk has also recently claimed that he doesn’t surround himself with wiseman but the video again showed clips of his time with Paul Heyman. Then it also showed CM Punk’s jovial moments with Cody Rhodes and other WWE stars, which was a contradiction to what Punk had said when he returned to WWE- “I am not here to make friends, I’m here to make money.”
Punk has admitted that WWE has treated him like a “dog,” but again, the video showed him saying, “I was a champion for 434 days.”
2. Nothing real about him
Reigns then questioned CM Punk’s authenticity. He said the former AEW star isn’t genuine and that his whole image is built on an act. He challenged Punk’s personality and claim of being “The Voice of the Voiceless.” Reigns believes Punk only pretends to represent people.
3. Talks big but breaks easily
Reigns also said that even though the World Heavyweight Champion is great on the mic, he struggles when things get tough. He pointed to the recent back-and-forth between Punk and Pat McAfee. CM Punk has recently called out McAfee for coming to “his business” and talking about selling tickets. In return, McAfee mentioned how Punk uses WWE fans to make money.
Reigns then said he would never have a punter come and “ran his mouth” to him like that.
4. He twists the truth
Roman Reigns accused Punk of changing facts to suit his own story. He said that “nobody believes” in Punk and “it’s not 2012 anymore.” “Tribal Chief don’t lie. That’s why they believe in me. That’s why they trust me,” Reigns proclaimed.
The segment ended with a warning from the former WWE Champion. He warned Punk to come out and tell the “truth” to him on the main event of RAW, or he would.
The promo closed with the line, “This message has been approved by your Tribal Chief.”
