Roman Reigns and CM Punk, the top stars of their respective WWE brands, continue to be prominently discussed despite their absence from WWE programming. Roman Reigns last appeared at WrestleMania 40, where he lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes.
WWE Star Reveals Roman Reigns and CM Punk Are His Mentors
He held the title for a record-breaking 1,316 days, making him the longest reigning champion of the modern era. Reigns, who has been the face of WWE since 2015, saw his career explode after he went whole and gave fans what they had been craving for years. His 'Tribal Chief' gimmick took him to another level with the longest storyline in recent memory.
On the other hand, CM Punk's return to WWE last year marked a major comeback for the former star. He made a significant impact in the early 2010s and remained a top talent throughout his first run. Many current WWE stars of the new generation have credited Punk as a major influence on their careers. Recently, former NXT Champion Bron Breakker named both Punk and Roman Reigns as mentors who guided him.
Former NXT Champion Bron Breakker has been on a meteoric rise since arriving on Raw in April, quickly making a name for himself with brutal attacks on stars like Ricochet, Ilja Dragunov and Sami Zayn.
