Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania 41 Rivalry Likely to Begin at Elimination Chamber

Roman Reigns has not been seen on WWE programming since his participation in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match, where a confrontation with Seth Rollins turned chaotic. The former champion’s absence follows an injury sustained during a post-match altercation with Rollins, after both men were eliminated by CM Punk.

The intense three-way brawl that unfolded outside the ring resulted in Rollins inflicting damage on his former Shield partner, forcing Reigns into a hiatus. This unresolved situation has created speculation about when and how The Tribal Chief might make his return to WWE television.

Based on current developments, Reigns could make his comeback at WWE Elimination Chamber 2025, seeking retribution against Rollins. The timing of such a return would align with setting up a significant match for WrestleMania 41, which is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas.

If Reigns appears during the Men’s Chamber match with the intention of attacking Rollins, the situation could take an unexpected turn. In the confined structure, Rollins might evade Reigns’ offensive maneuver, potentially resulting in CM Punk inadvertently receiving the impact instead.

Such an outcome would create a natural progression toward a Triple Threat match featuring these three competitors at WWE’s premier event. The storyline foundation was already established during their heated exchange at the Royal Rumble, which saw all three men eliminated in connection with one another.

Recent speculation has already suggested the possibility of these three performers competing in a high-profile Triple Threat match at WrestleMania. An accidental attack on Punk during Elimination Chamber would provide the narrative catalyst to ensure such a contest materializes.

While this scenario presents a logical direction for the storyline, it remains speculative until WWE confirms their official plans for these performers heading into WrestleMania season.
