Sam Roberts

I mean, this is one of those nights where we could start this conversation with the end of Raw.

We could start it with the beginning of Raw.

We absolutely could have.

But I just...

The energy is so fresh.

We just walked off the arena floor into the WWE Now studios that they have built for us in Madison Square Garden.

I believe this is a permanent installation, so that's very, very exciting.

But I've got to tell you, I'm sitting there tonight, and I'm watching what's going down between Roman Reigns and CM Punk.

And I've got to tell you, if in...

2012, 2011, 2013, you had told me that there would be a day

where Roman Reigns and CM Punk were going to headline WrestleMania, and I would find myself naturally, firmly on the side of Roman Reigns, I would have thought you were crazy.

I couldn't have been a bigger CM Punk fan.

I couldn't have been, through the rise of Roman Reigns, a bigger Roman Reigns denier.

But something happened with this bloodline run, where I'm sitting there, annoyed,

angry, dismayed at Roman Reigns taking that powerbomb through the table.

I am so on Roman Reigns' side going into WrestleMania.

Like, why would he interrupt?

During the tribal chief's acknowledgement, yes, I was annoyed when Madison Square Garden was chanting CM Punk.

And by the way, Madison Square Garden, for years and years and years and years, whether CM Punk has been in the building or not, have chanted CM Punk.

I have chanted CM Punk.
