World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk has opened up on his creative process behind his WWE promos and his upcoming rivalry with Roman Reigns.
CM Punk and Roman Reigns are set to face off in the main event of WrestleMania 42, with both men going face to face on this week’s Raw show following Roman Reigns’ Royal Rumble victory.
The ending of the show saw Reigns and Punk exchange in a war of words, which has been praised by many fans following the show.
Speaking on You Better You Bet, Punk was asked about his creative process behind his WWE promos, to which he went into detail how it is affected by the ongoing story with Roman Reigns.
He said:
“I’m constantly thinking. I can’t shut my brain off, so I’m constantly cutting promos, a lot of people on the outside might think I’m just talking to myself, and in a way I am, but it’s really, it’s constant.
“The creative process to me, I can really distil it down to; simple is better, and draw on real life situations and human emotions you know are going to pull on people’s heart strings.
“To me it’s better when there’s a good guy and a bad guy. When it comes to me and Roman, we kind of transcend that a little bit, and different situations are gonna lend yourself to different reactions and different crowds are going to cheer or boo more or less based on whatever.
“So when you get me and Roman in the ring together, all you know is it’s going to be real loud, it’s going to be electric and it’s gonna be good.
“I can’t speak for him, but I can assume he feels the same way, I don’t care if me and him are in front of each other and they pick a side, because more often than not they will, but at this level, it’s not good guy vs. bad guy, it’s superstar vs. superstar, and I don’t want Roman to change who he is, and I’m not gonna change who I am.
“So it really is, as Gorilla Monsoon famously claimed, the irresistible force vs the immovable object. So you’re getting these two top guys, arguably the best guys in the business, and you put them in the ring and it’s gonna be magic.”
