With SummerSlam ’round the corner, Roman Reigns is in and out of interviews boasting about his abilities and his dominance on the blue brand. However, in an interview, Reigns speaks candidly about his thoughts on CM Punk.
‘The Head of the Table’ frequently mentions his coveted Universal Championship and how he has elevated its status in the pro-wrestling business. Reigns will defend his title against John Cena in the main event of SummerSlam in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In a recent interview, Reigns shoots on CM Punk for not being as over with the crowd as John Cena and The Rock. However, Hardcore legend Mick Foley took to Twitter to let his feelings known.
Mick Foley says Punk changed the wrestling business
In response to Reigns’ comments, WWE legend Mick Foley gave Roman a piece of his mind. Foley did not acknowledge the Tribal Chief, but acknowledged CM Punk’s greatness in the ring. Foley and Punk never shared the ring, but they shared a light-hearted moment during Foley’s Hall of Fame induction.
The Hardcore legend further added if Punk ever returned, he will reclaim the top-guy spot in the wrestling business. There is some truth to Foley’s claims, at least with the rumors surrounding Punk’s AEW debut.

CM PUNK WAS DAMN GOOD, AND DAMN OVER.
With one interview he changed the course of the wrestling business. He had great matches with a wide variety of opponents on a nightly basis.
When/if he returns to wrestling, he will once again be damn good and damn over. @CMPunk https://t.co/di1QS7qkZq

For now, neither Punk nor Reigns have made any comments on the Tweet.
CM Punk doesn’t impress Roman Reigns
Speaking with Ariel Helwani, Reigns talked about his match against Cena at SummerSlam; however when Helwani asked about these part-timers coming in time and time again and headlining PPVs, Reigns says that Cena and The Rock were both better than Punk.

“I do think there’s that strange threshold, but I think those statements are coming from bitter people who possibly thought they were better than they really were. When it comes down to it, CM Punk was not as good or as over as a John Cena, wasn’t as good or as over or moved the needle like The Rock. It just was what it was.” Roman said.
