Mark Henry calls CM Punk vs Roman Reigns the best match in years
Mark Henry reacted strongly after the match. He shared a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, and he did not hold back at all.
“I just want to let y’all know that this is the best match that I’ve seen since Taker (and) Shawn Michaels’ last match. I was excited, you didn’t know where it was going, either way, who was gonna win, who was gonna lose. It was like watching Rakim freestyle against KRS-One, Kendrick Lamar or something like that.
“It was just really elite, above and beyond wrestling. Everything that they did worked, even when things didn’t work and they both went down, that was a win for us as fans. Roman can’t do anything but have respect for Punk. He wanted him to be in shape, he was in shape.” [H/T: Wrestletalk]
After the win, Reigns celebrated in the ring with his family. He also made it clear after the show that he is done being a part-time wrestler, which hints at a new direction.
