Summary

WWE Raw closed with CM Punk standing tall after putting Roman Reigns through a table at Madison Square Garden.

As the broadcast ended, Punk climbed onto the barricade and exchanged words with a fan while mocking Reigns. Reigns then answered on social media, calling out Punk and promising to end things at WrestleMania 42.

The two are set to meet for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42.

What this means for Reigns vs. Punk at WrestleMania 42

Roman Reigns turning this moment into a direct public challenge raises the temperature on a title match that already had major stakes, and it keeps the focus on personal animosity, not just championship status.

It also tracks with the recent escalation between both men, including Reigns taking another shot at CM Punk ahead of their WWE Raw face-off, which suggests the build is being framed as a grudge fight wrapped around the world title.
