As things continue to heat up between WWE's CM Punk and Roman Reigns ahead of their WrestleMania 42 match, the Second City Saint made this situation extremely personal on last night's Raw.

With Punk and Reigns closing out Raw, the two exchanged barbs, with various references to Roman's family, to the Shield days, and the Tribal Chief calling his 'Mania opponent a "punk-ass b**tch" who wouldn't even be on his radar were it not for the fact that he holds the World Heavyweight Title.

Upping the ante with his reply, CM Punk then pointed out how Roman Reigns is nowadays all alone - no cousins, no Bloodline, no Wiseman - and how the OTC can't get things done when he's on his own. Rounding out this segment, the Chicagoan then said how Roman "won't be alone anymore... because I'm gonna bury you next to your father".

For those unaware, Roman Reigns' father is Sika of the legendary Wild Samoans, with Sika passing away in June 2024 at the age of 79. Sika's brother and tag team partner Afa would pass away two months later, aged 80.

With CM Punk taking such a personal shot at Roman, many fans are already speculating that Larry - Punk and AJ Lee's dog who died in December - may be on the table when Reigns inevitably fires back on the Road to WrestleMania. It's worth noting that the Straight-Edge Superstar didn't give Roman a chance to reply after referencing Sika, instead exiting the ring as Cult of Personality played and Reigns stood confused and angry in the middle of the ring as Raw went off the air.

As it stands, Roman Reigns' next WWE appearance is scheduled for the March 16th Raw from San Antonio, Texas' Frost Bank Center.
