That shyt in combination with WWE forcing him up the ladder and Bryan down it torpedoed his face run for years till the leukemia diagnosis. Our Tribal Chief has every reason to hold a grudge against that guy

Thing is Punk wanted to make Roman look strong by losing the 3 on 1 handicap match vs the Shield but Vince had Punk go over.

Punk doesn’t tell the story that same way:

It's me vs The Shield 3-on-1. These are the most pushed 3 guys since like Bobby Lashley. They're like, "You're going over." And I was like, "Okay." And then they grabbed me and they stressed, "But you gotta make Roman look really, really strong." No, I was just gonna f**king s**t on em, and beat em. I was just gonna tear through em, and f**king Superman the s**t out of em, and just GTS all 3 of em at the same time, you know what, whatever, like, yeah, I get it.



So while we're putting the match together, every two minutes, someone new was coming up to me.



"Hey, you gotta make Roman look really strong."



"Hey, you're making him look really strong, right."



And finally I said, "You know what? You know what would make them look really strong? If they beat me."



"But no, no, Vince wants you to go over."



"Okay."



"But, but you gotta make him look-"



"Goddammit! I f**king get it! I know how to do the job. Shut the f**k up!"

He emphasized the point that they wanted to him to make Roman look strong, he didn’t outright say he wanted them to go over. He said if they wanted him to look strong why not have the Shield go over.

He was clearly using sarcasm in the last part of the first paragraph.

Also I was just going off of memory.

the beast was no match for the bloodline

it’ll be interesting to see how the bloodline acts once the people’s champion returns

Roman going to put up Sammartino numbers as Champ

I’m here for it . But real talk I’m shook for when they take the title from him. He needs the title as the tribal chief.
