 What's good jobs your boros back again with another video. So we're gonna check out see him punk versus Roman Reigns by none other than Polana Productions This is an interest interesting. I guess you could say debate or interesting topic to bring up I'm wondering if he's gonna go with the route of who is the biggest star right now Is it see him punk his triumph it triumph it return? I can't even speak right now his return to wrestling as a whole or is it Roman Reigns who's been holding it down? for WWE Since SummerSlim of last year. So I'm not sure we're gonna see what Argument he bring up with discussions. He brings up, but appreciate all the love and support roll to CCK and let's get right into it when see him punk return to professional wrestling and made his debut in AEW He instantly became the biggest superstar in that promotion. It's not even a question to be honest Not even close see him punk is hands down the hottest act in AEW On the other hand Roman Reigns is the biggest superstar in the WWE right now It's been like that for about five years now, and it's even more evident since turning heel in 2020 Roman Reigns is basically the WWE. He's the Like he said in his match with John Cena. I am WWE Roman Reigns is WWE at this point I think a lot of people check out WWE just to see what Roman Reigns is gonna say and or do or who he's gonna face and How he's gonna win. That's pretty much WWE right now Roman Reigns most important figure and he made events every pay-per-view and has the biggest programs on Each show this begs the important question Who is the bigger star right now in wrestling? Is it see him punk or is it Roman Reigns on a recent podcast? Jim cornet actually said that see him punk was the bigger star between the two and then Roman Reigns even took a shot at See him punk by tweeting that he's the real needle-moving draw that helps Smackdown surpass two million viewers last week Because of all wow Smackdown had over two million viewers. That's nice I mean Smackdown, there's no denying it. We all know Smackdown is the a-show. There's no There's no even like if you try to tell me raw is better than Smackdown I'm just gonna look at you stupid. Be honest with you You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm gonna also still look at you stupid raw is nowhere near as good as as Smackdown and mainly because they have Arguably the best Run in Roman Reigns. No, it's not even arguably. This is the best run for Roman Reigns career ever I don't know if it gets any better than this only time will tell but he is carrying Smackdown and he's carrying WWE on his back. Yeah, I probably think I'm gassing But let's be honest. I haven't been disinvested in a storyline in a wrestler in a person Since Daniel Bryan for me personally just like actually invested in every match in every segment that they're in It's probably be Daniel Bryan would be the last person. I was probably invested this much in WWE all this talk I thought it would be a fun video to analyze which wrestler is the bigger star right now And we're gonna make a case for both CM Punk and Roman Reigns And I will give you my final verdict at the end of the video. We'll see without further We're gonna make the case for CM Punk first because his return is still fresh before CM Punk left WWE He was one of their top stars from 2011 through 2013 CM Punk was at the prime of his career Regardless of what WWE thought he was the bigger star than John Cena in 2011 and probably 2012 WWE never made him the number one guy because he probably Organically got over with the audience, which is something that Vince McMahon does not like it's bizarre that they have that mindset But it does happen doesn't make the same thing happened to Jeff Hardy when he was the hottest thing in 2009 Anyways, CM Punk was big. He was doing huge numbers His merchandise was always out of stock. See him put run was so impressive This is why I'm so confused at what our truth is saying when CM Punk was way more over In our truth in the midst around this time pit, but hey, what do I know because he brought back a generation of wrestling fans Me being one of them deadass People really started watching again because of one man CM Punk had true star power Unfortunately, he left in the prime of his career because of his mistreatment from the WWE and their doctors If he stayed he could have possibly died because of his injuries that they were not treating him with well enough Outside of that his mental health was also deteriorating it was time for him to leave despite being one of the biggest stars at the time and so CM Punk left and it sucked WWE felt very weird without CM Punk His last moment in the company was being eliminated from the Royal Rumble by Kane It was not anything to be too proud of no when he first left people were constantly chanting his name hoping that he would come back But that was not the case It would happen for a few months before fans would finally give up the occasional CM Punk chance would make some appearances, especially at the Chicago shows, but it was fading away I still find it impressive that people were still chanting for him years after he left after After seven long years, he finally came back to professional wrestling and this obviously was not with the WWE CM Punk would make his debut with AEW last week on rampain one of if not the greatest return of All-time in wrestling This is easily up there, especially from me one of the greatest returns to wrestling Or just you could put this in just one of the greatest returns in general. This was Legendary I'm going to find myself Years from now always going back to watch that video because it always gives me goosebumps CM Punk's rumored this was a rumor at the time was a rumor debut not even officially announced Managed to sell out the United Center. It was the largest crowd that AEW has ever had Also attracted an additional 400,000 new viewers to watch rampage on cable making it a complete success That is a huge jump more importantly is the YouTube views CM Punk's debut was posted on AEW's channel and it generated over seven million viewers I say this is more important because it shows the true interest in CM Punk It's pretty difficult to get fans to watch a show on a Friday night at 10 p.m Especially when you consider that cable is not what it used to be true I think it's very clear that nearly 10 million people wanted to see CM Punk after his AEW rampage debut AW also announced that he would appear on Dynamite this week That show had a 20% increase in his leadership from the prior week That's crazy is clearly popular enough to attract around 300,000 viewers But does that make him the bigger star than Roman Reigns? Interesting debate that that is awesome to know that he was able to gain like get more people to check out AEW Dynamite AEW rampage that's That's how you know you have star power the fact they sold out on a rumor That's it. That's crazy, man. That's so dope While CM Punk spent the last seven years away from professional wrestling Roman Reigns would continue to grow as Vince McMahon made it his mission to become the biggest star for the WWE to take the mantle away from John Cena Roman Reigns instantly main evented WrestleMania the year after he split from his former faction in 2015 Reigns and Brock Lesnar put on a classic match that would be the beginning of the Young Stars push That was a good match. After that he would start a very long program with Triple H and Vince McMahon throughout 2015 and 2016 that ultimately ended with another main event match at WrestleMania 32 with Roman Reigns Defeating Triple H the next year after that Roman Reigns was back in the main event picture But this time around it was with the undertaker where he would actually defeat the dead man to become the second person To beat him at WrestleMania Roman Reigns did not stop there No, WrestleMania 34 was just around the corner And that is where he main evented yet again another mania with Brock Lesnar for the second time Things slowly shifted away for a bit because Roman Reigns was diagnosed with leukemia But he recovered quickly to make a grand return at WrestleMania 35 I want to say this he I mean he's not mentioning it, but during those main events Roman was a face, but people were not feeling him They weren't he was having some decent solid to good matches But people didn't they they didn't want him to be the guy and now that he is the guy It's it's one of those things where it's like This should have happened years ago. They should have turned some heel years ago but hey, we've got the Roman Reigns character that we should have gotten many many years ago and It's it's working out for him. So but at the time I remember those WrestleMania's did not really too much care for him Outside of WrestleMania 31. I thought that one that match was actually pretty good I enjoyed that match a lot, but people were not trying to borrow into Roman Reigns This match was not too special. It was against Drew McIntyre It was more about the big dog coming back to WWE in such a short time to show off his resilience Fast forward to WrestleMania 37 and that was where it was back in the main event scene of WrestleMania and Daniel Bryan and Edge We're unfortunate to go out to suffer a loss by the hands of the Fantastic man. I think it's safe to say that ever since turning heel Roman Reigns has been carrying the entire wrestling industry for the last 365 days this new version of Roman Reigns is producing the best work in the wrestling scene And it's not even close being the cornerstone of the biggest wrestling promotion in the world Does help a lot with star power when you think of WWE nowadays John Cena and Roman Reigns are the two names that typically pop up I also think that Roman Reigns is only going to become a bigger star after this new program with Brock Lesnar And then after that he is gonna be involved in the biggest storyline of his career when he eventually wrestles his cousin the rock put in a Star like Dwayne Johnson in an important WrestleMania main event when Roman Reigns is going to rub off a lot of star power Not gonna lie to you They're feeding people to Roman and I'm telling you if they're able to pull this off Roman versus the rock bruh Talk about Monumental old goosebumps That's a main event. That's a WrestleMania main event and You have Roman win You have him win because the next person that actually beats Roman and take the title from him He is instantly a mega star because he beat Roman Reigns Amen Our and you also have to consider that this year's SummerSlam was the most watched SummerSlam of all time Wow was headlined by none other than John Cena and Roman Reigns is all the work that Vince McMahon put into Roman Reigns enough to make the claim that he is the biggest star in the business today It's a final verdict man What about this and now we are at the end of the video and I need to make my official take Who is the bigger star CM Punk or Roman Reigns? I'm gonna have to go with Roman Reigns. This might upset some people But I think it's the stone-cold truth Roman Reigns has been involved in way too many WrestleMania main events with too many legends It also helps that he's the top guy for the bigger company that has more of a legacy and a lot more people know about WWE versus AEW the WWE reaches numbers that AEW isn't even close to I know that it feels like CM Punk is the bigger star right now because his return is still relatively fresh But that will eventually fade away in a few months He's still going to be a big star in wrestling, but he's not gonna be bigger than Roman Reigns I guess the best way to put it is that Roman Reigns is professional wrestling right now the same way that Hogan was Professional wrestling in the 80s stone cold was professional wrestling in the 90s and Cena was professional wrestling in the last 15 years Anyways, that is it for the video guys. Thank you so much for watching. I hope y'all enjoyed if you did Please make sure to leave a like and subscribe. Wow. I see how you broke it down. Um If I had to give my honest opinion here, the bigger star steel is Roman Reigns, I know there's gonna be some people like, oh, how could you say that? Cena punk is the bigger star Hear me out The reason why I say that is because one Cena punk just got back and everyone's on this this emotional high and they're loving it because no one thought really Believe like people were unsure if he was really going to return to wrestling now. He's back in wrestling What's gonna really? Kind of I guess you can guess you can say gauge the true star power here is of course How all his matches go the potential feuds he's gonna have that's what's going to Really solidify who's the bigger star because what's making Roman Reigns the bigger star in my opinion It's because of the feuds the matches. He's been involved in he has been involved in some Fantastic matches for me personally The I think the lowest rated match I've given him probably it's maybe like a seven out of ten since last year He's been involved in fantastic matches Main event quality matches since last year of some since summer summer last year and His whole character demeanor is literally carrying WWE I don't think a lot of people watch Smackdown or the pay-per-views or even interested in WWE as much if Roman isn't at the top of the card You know saying having these great views and storylines. So I'm interested to see how AEW Does with seeing punk and his feuds and his storylines That's going to be the real telling part if they're able to give us some great fantastic matches and consistently and His storylines are always the ones that make you want to check out the show just to see what's gonna happen with him punk consistently then Later down the road We can really have this debate. Like I said right now. I'm gonna have to give it some Roman Reigns because For the past year now. He has been the personification of WWE and I Do believe CM Punk can rival that I do believe if AW books incorrectly makes You know creates, you know new stars with CM Punk just off his name alone and have Fanta fantastic matches and and have fantastic storylines. I think In a year's time you could possibly see CM Punk really rivaling I can't even talk CM Punk really going against Roman Reigns as Arguably one of the best in the industry today. So comment down below Let me know this was gonna really spark up some conversation. This is just my opinion on it I want everyone's opinion. Who do you think is the biggest star right now? Roman Reigns or CM Punk? Let me know give your reasons why and why not appreciate our love and support Road to 60k appreciate y'all kicking in with me. See y'all in the next one. Peace
