Roman Reigns may face major opponent at WrestleMania 41, not The Rock
Wrestling analyst Sam Roberts suggests Roman Reigns might face Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, following potential betrayal from Paul Heyman. The speculation emerges as Heyman’s recent return to SmackDown raises questions about his true allegiance.
Heyman’s appearance last week marked his first WWE appearance in five months, where he introduced CM Punk as the final member of The OG Bloodline for WarGames. His choice of attire, reminiscent of Solo Sikoa’s style after taking control of The Bloodline, sparked speculation about his loyalty to Reigns.
On his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Roberts outlined a potential scenario where Heyman’s betrayal could lead to high-profile matches. “If Paul Heyman were to align with the new Bloodline, a Solo Sikoa versus Roman Reigns match could headline a Royal Rumble,” Roberts said. He added that this setup could pave the way for Reigns to face Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania.
Tension builds as Heyman’s loyalty to Reigns remains uncertain
Paul Heyman’s SmackDown return on November 22 brought CM Punk into The OG Bloodline, but their interaction revealed underlying tension. During the segment, Punk made it clear his loyalty lies with Heyman rather than Reigns, stating “It’s not about me and you. It’s about him,” while pointing at The Wiseman.
The dynamic between Punk and Reigns creates uncertainty about Heyman’s true intentions. Their exchange ended with Reigns claiming ownership of The Wiseman, to which Punk ominously replied, “We’ll see.” This interaction suggests potential conflicts within The OG Bloodline as Survivor Series approaches.
