“I felt that by CM Punk bringing up my uncle’s name was just a disrespectful thing for him to do. I would have thought CM Punk that you’re [sic] smart enough not to even tap on something like that.”

Rikishi questioned whether Punk mentioned his family’s “paramount chief” just to garner heat. The Hall of Famer concluded by saying that the World Heavyweight Champion shouldn’t have brought up Sika’s name because he was a beloved member of the Anoa’i family and was no longer alive.

“But when you mention a name of a family member that is no longer here, a paramount chief in this family who we all respect and love, and then you want to dig that up. What was it for you to get some heat? Is that what it was?”

Rikishi has faith in Roman Reigns to dethrone CM Punk

While Rikishi was furious about how CM Punk disrespected Sika Anoa’i, he was hopeful that Roman Reigns would exact revenge on behalf of their family. The former Intercontinental Champion claimed that Punk’s actions would come back to haunt him.

“You’ve done a lot in the industry. You’ve been around the world. You’ve been holding that strap there for a minute. You’ve been that good role model. But I want to tell you something, CM Punk. If you done turned something over, that is going to be hard for you to come back from, and I’m going to leave that in the hands of Roman Reigns. Clock that,” Rikishi added.

Rikishi said he respected The Best in the World and his World Heavyweight Championship reign. However, he wanted Reigns to put down The Second City Saint at ‘Mania.
