So this should be a tough one tbh... Two of the best right now & of all time. Two big names, megastars, real talented, legends, icons & I'd even say underrated & and underappreciated by the online fans... the crowds love em tho & they both move the needle in many ways.
I'm going with Punk but I love Reigns work since 2020. I will say that Reigns was always a popular star amongst the fans even before the heel turn, but he was just meh for me.
I was always a Punk fan since day 1. I will also say Reigns has been the best & biggest thing in WWE since 2020 when he finally turned heel and overall his current run will go down as one of the best things in WWE history.
Who you guys going with?

CM Punk.
Got over naturally while looking absolutely nothing like a typical WWE star.
Roman is a star, no doubt. But mostly manufactured.

I used to like CM Punk, but after he left WWE he kind of fizzled on me. Then you hear stories about his personalities, the way he’s treated fans and the dramas that he was involved in. I think overall I prefer our Tribal Chief. He was hated by many at first, but after his heel run people warmed up to him. The other thing is with Roman is he comes across as a genuine dude. As far as in ring work, Punk is better.

Pfffftt…
Anyone that suggests that A) Roman is a bigger star or B) a better performer in any way you want to tilt the coin…. Might as well be known now, forever and a day as a window licker.
People forget why the pops Punk get are so huge. Why the fan base have such a connection to him and his time in WWE. He’s cut from a different bit of cloth that is unquestionably makes him a *STAR*. The success he had in his first run eclipses anything and everything anyone has done as a talent since. Not even Bryan is on the level of Punk, it’s a rung below.
Reigns is just the guy they have carrying belts about these days. He’s a nothing in the grand scheme of things… someone that people will forget, save for when they choose to insert, in the same exact spot and manner they choose to do it, the next “guy” who is also a nothing but a belt carrier and they go oh that reminds me of that other guy, who was that again??? Hmmm.

I think Punk is the bigger star. Only way to compare the two in my eyes is one was given everything on planet earth to get to the top. And the other fought through every obstacle and setback to get to the top.
Roman is the personification of anyone getting the corporate WWE rub and if you shove them down your throats long enough and they tell you how big of a star this guy is enough, well then you just have to accept that at some point.
But if you get there on your own when you're not supposed to and do so in the face of constant adversity. I think that is the difference maker on who is the bigger star.

PUnk will never main event mania so he should probably deal with that.

I'm still not sure how I feel about the whole Punk back in WWE thing.
Dude has spent how much energy in the last decade bad mouthing the company, and now he's back because he has nowhere else to go. It comes off forced and just doesn't feel right imo.
But even with that being said...him returning to WWE is the most exciting thing that's happened to that company in a long time. Which is pretty sad.
Punk > Reigns to answer the question. Lol

Roman Reigns. This year he takes the record for most WrestleMania main events - or equals it, if you count the Hulkster’s impromptu WrestleMania IX match (which as Seth Rollins mentioned last week on Raw, you shouldn’t really).

Very good points... you gotta give massive credit to Punk |
