Just five days before WrestleMania 42, Monday Night Raw at the Golden 1 Center delivered chaos, contract signings, and brawls that set the stage for the "Show of Shows." The main event saw Roman Reigns and CM Punk meet in the ring one last time before their WrestleMania clash. Punk continued his verbal "pipebombs," questioning Reigns' legacy and The Rock's influence. Reigns, calm but defiant, declared himself the "Original Tribal Chief" focused on reclaiming his throne. The segment ended in a chilling staredown, with security forced to separate the two.
This was a "Giving each other their flowers before the War" kind of promo between CM punk & Roman Reigns.
