At the electrifying WWE Royal Rumble 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana, I found myself right in the thick of things as CM Punk and Roman Reigns locked horns in a passionate dispute. Both were undeniable favorites to clinch the title, but the tension between them reached boiling point following their eliminations.
In the contest, Reigns made his entrance at position 16 and managed to hold his own for a noteworthy 37 minutes and 15 seconds, putting on quite a show. However, things took an unexpected turn when Reigns, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Logan Paul, Jey Uso, and John Cena were the last six contenders standing in the match, leading to a stir.

In the arena, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins stood face-to-face, their rivals out of the picture. They traded verbal jabs before launching fists. In an effort to oust one another, they squared off. However, Punk saw his chance and eliminated them both instead.
Initially, CM Punk was swiftly eliminated by Logan Paul. At the edge of the ring, Reigns angrily scolded Punk for eliminating him, while Rollins looked on. The argument between the two grew more intense when Rollins struck Reigns with a Curb Stomp and then fought with Punk. WWE officials had to step in promptly to separate them. New video evidence shows what Reigns was yelling at Punk.
CM Punk was quickly eliminated by Logan Paul, which angered Reigns, who shouted at Punk from the sidelines while Rollins watched. The tension between them boiled over when Rollins attacked Reigns with a Curb Stomp and then engaged in a physical altercation with Punk. WWE officials had to intervene quickly to break up the fight. Recently obtained footage sheds light on what Reigns was saying to Punk.

Following their elimination, Roman Reigns and CM Punk were lying on the ground when Reigns was heard shouting, “Why did you do that to me? We just formed a partnership a month ago!” The two had united at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, with Punk joining forces with Reigns to help him overcome Solo Sikoa’s latest Bloodline.

In the Survivor Series battle, CM Punk intervened to shield Reigns from Bronson Reed’s Tsunami dive off the cage’s edge. Following their win, these two prominent figures exchanged a handshake. Yet, the Royal Rumble’s “every man for himself” rule seemed to sour Reigns, as he showed signs of discontent towards Punk, who had eliminated him—an action that contradicted their bond, which was only recently rekindled a few months back.
It’s intriguing to watch what happens next, particularly since Seth Rollins has entered the scene after giving two Curb Stomps to Reigns. Might this lead to a three-way competition at WrestleMania 31? We’ll have to wait and see.
