Roman Reigns has been the talk of the town ever since WWE Clash of Champions. He showcased a monstrous heel side against his own cousin, Jey Uso. Following that, his fans have been waiting for the company to announce his next storyline/feud. When the Universal Champion appeared as a guest on the Loaded Management Podcast he revealed a potential storyline that may interest him.

He added that it would proceed only if the fans like it. According to the ‘Big Dog’, he does not need to like a Superstar to be in a storyline with him. Hence, while his feelings for CM Punk aren’t positive, if Punk and the audience are ready, he will brush aside his personal feelings and put business first.

“If you’ve watched wrestling for the last 10-15 years and love it and it’s in your blood, then you probably have some kind of feelings about that guy. I know I do. Just by doing one of these things, he made my job a lot harder. If it’s something that the fans can get behind and can sink their teeth into and really dive into the creative with us, then I’m willing to do it.”

Nevertheless, Roman Reigns is of the opinion that actions need to be put in motion to bring Punk’s head back on track.

“I don’t like the guy, I don’t know many people who do. But I’m willing to put business first and make really good content if that’s the case. He’d probably have to be slapped around a few times in order to get his mind right, but if it’s willing, and the fans and the audience [are] going to like it and be into it, then most likely I’m going to be in it.”
