CM Punk has received a warning from a fellow WWE Superstar after he cut a promo targeting Hulk Hogan. Bronson Reed had a message for Punk after he threatened The Hulkster on RAW.

CM Punk is mere days away from competing in the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble match. He cut an intense promo while being interviewed by Jackie Redmond on RAW, hyping the free-for-all. During the promo, he took a massive shot at former WWE Champion Hulk Hogan.

“You put Hulk Hogan in the royal rumble, I’ll throw his dusty a** over the top rope and I’ll kill Hulkamania once and for all!”

Injured WWE Superstar Bronson Reed immediately responded to Punk and wrote the following:

Unfortunately, Bronson Reed won't be returning to action anytime soon. He suffered an injury at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 and is guaranteed to miss this year's WrestleMania. Reed's situation is highly unfortunate, as the behemoth was getting a massive push on WWE RAW when he got injured.

Punk, on the other hand, wants nothing but to win this year's Royal Rumble match. A Royal Rumble win would mean Punk fulfills his dream of headlining The Show of Shows, something he has wanted to do for years at this point.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
