I doubt this was just coincidence given what's likely to happen tomorrow, but Roman Reigns in an interview with Ariel Helwani mentioned that CM Punk was not as good or over as John Cena, nor did he move the needle like The Rock did.
"These statements are coming from people who thought they were better than they were.

With one interview he changed the course of the wrestling business. He had great matches with a wide variety of opponents on a nightly basis.
When/if he returns to wrestling, he will once again be damn good and damn over. @CMPunk https://t.co/di1QS7qkZq
