Roman Reigns Big Match Confirmed for WWE WrestleMania 41

Roman Reigns made his first SmackDown appearance since returning on RAW in Madison Square Garden. The former champion closed the show in Bologna, Italy with an in-ring promo.

Reigns addressed both CM Punk and Seth Rollins during his segment. He claimed Punk screwed him at Royal Rumble and mentioned his attempt to “kill” Rollins at MSG.

The Tribal Chief called out both men to the ring. Rollins answered the challenge first and entered the arena to confront his longtime rival.

Rollins told Reigns that this situation wasn’t about Punk. He emphasized their own personal rivalry, stating it has “always been” about them and suggesting they add another chapter to their story.

Before the two could come to blows, CM Punk interrupted the confrontation. Punk declared that neither man could defeat him individually, claiming they had never beaten him one-on-one.

Punk brought up his actions during War Games, stating Reigns wouldn’t have made it to Royal Rumble without his help. He then thanked Paul Heyman for “delivering” Roman to him.

The verbal exchange quickly turned physical when Punk struck Reigns with a microphone. This sparked a three-way brawl between all competitors in the ring.

The chaotic fight concluded with each man standing tall at different points during the segment. All three superstars pointed toward the WrestleMania sign.
