Roman Reigns took a well-timed shot at CM Punk after his WWE Elimination Chamber victory.
Punk successfully defended his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor in a tough fight. Punk walked away bloodied and bruised, and Reigns sent a message to Punk at the conclusion of the match.
“Not sure who looked more tired — the crowd or the champion. Enjoy this final month of relevancy,” Roman Reigns wrote on Twitter/X.
Some fans interpreted Reigns’ remark as him taking a dig at the quality of the WWE Elimination Chamber show. CM Punk was also asked about the post, which went viral after the show, quickly surpassing more than one million views.

Punk mocked Reigns for sending the post while sitting at home before offering a bit of a preview for WrestleMania 42.
“He’s got time to Tweet, but he doesn’t have time to come to Chicago,” CM Punk said.
Punk said this was the second-biggest arena gate in the company’s history, knocking Reigns for not being in the top spot either.
“19,346 people showed up in Chicago because I am a fighting champion, and I will travel to Las Vegas, and yeah, I’m going to be tired. And yeah, I’m going to be beat up, and I’m going to be bandaged. But that keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I need to be,” CM Punk continued. “And for me, the action is the juice. You can sit at home and we’re going to call you Rusty Reigns when you show up in Las Vegas. And I’ve got a GTS for you and every one of your stupid family members!”
