During last night's episode of WWE SmackDown, 16-time World Champion John Cena had an in-ring segment with WWE Universal Champion "The Head Of The Table" Roman Reigns prior to their massive WWE Universal Title Match at the SummerSlam PPV. The segment saw Cena take some shots at the WWE Universal Champion and it also seems that Cena took some shots at former WWE Star CM Punk.
John Cena said:
“Roman, you’re gonna put on a hell of a show, but I’m just gonna hang in there for 1, 2, 3. And then I’m gonna take your title, jump the barricade and run out of Allegiant Stadium as fast as I can. I may even blow you a kiss goodbye.”
The "jump the barricade and run out" line as well as the "I may even blow you a kiss goodbye line" is reportedly a direct reference to CM Punk as immediately following CM Punk's win over John Cena at the 2011 SummerSlam main event, where Punk defeated Cena to capture the WWE Championship, Punk jumped the barricade and ran, while blowing a kiss to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
Shortly after Cena's promo on SmackDown, the former WWE Star took to his Instagram stories and posted a GIF of Lord Voldemort, who is the main villain or heel in the Harry Potter series. Lord Voldemort's name is not mentioned in the Harry Potter movies, instead he is just referred to as “You-Know-Who” or “He Who Must Not Be Named” or “The Dark Lord.”
CM Punk's Instagram post is seemingly a response to Cena's promo, but that has not been confirmed yet and Punk's post could also be a response to AEW not mentioning his name ahead of his rumored debut on next week’s First Dance special episode of AEW Rampage, which takes place inside the United Center in Chicago.
