Roman Reigns shocked fans with an unexpected appearance during the Steel Cage match between CM Punk and Seth Rollins on Monday’s Raw at Madison Square Garden. The former champion’s return dramatically altered the outcome of the highly anticipated showdown.
The cage match between Punk and Rollins delivered intense action throughout, with both competitors throwing their full arsenal at each other. Punk hit multiple elbow drops while Rollins delivered a superplex, and both men attempted their signature submissions during the battle.
As the match reached its climax, Rollins challenged Punk to “earn his victory” rather than escape the cage, leading to another fierce exchange. Rollins even executed Punk’s own GTS finisher, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win.
The match took a stunning turn when Reigns suddenly appeared, grabbing Rollins and forcibly removing him from the cage. This intervention effectively handed Rollins the victory, but Reigns wasn’t finished. He continued his assault on Rollins outside the ring, forcing WWE officials to intervene.
Inside the ring, Paul Heyman appeared to console Punk, but the moment was short-lived. Reigns turned his attention to Punk, attacking him viciously by throwing him into the cage before delivering a devastating spear.
The Madison Square Garden crowd erupted with “OTC” chants as Raw went off the air, signaling strong fan reaction to the dramatic developments between these three top competitors.
With WrestleMania 41 approaching in the coming weeks, this confrontation suggests significant implications for all three wrestlers heading into WWE’s biggest event of the year.
