Original Plans For Roman Reigns And CM Punk WWE RAW Segment Revealed

TLDR

CM Punk dropped Roman Reigns with a punch to close the March 16, 2026 episode of WWE Raw after a heated confrontation between the two WrestleMania opponents. According to reports, WWE changed the creative direction for the segment prior to airtime, with the original plan reportedly calling for Roman Reigns to respond to CM Punk's earlier comments about his father Sika with a line involving Punk's dog Larry. Instead, WWE went with the version that aired, which featured personal insults and ended with Punk getting the physical advantage.
