Seth Rollins competed in a steel cage match against CM Punk on the latest episode of Raw at Madison Square Garden. The bout ended unexpectedly when Roman Reigns made his return and pulled Rollins out of the cage.
Reigns immediately unleashed a violent assault on Rollins, delivering a Superman Punch followed by a Stomp on the ringside floor that left Rollins unconscious. The attack continued as Reigns then shifted his focus to CM Punk while Paul Heyman looked on with visible shock.
The severity of the attack on Rollins could potentially keep him away from WrestleMania 41. WWE might announce that Rollins sustained an injury during the beatdown, requiring time away from in-ring competition.
This development could lead to a direct confrontation between Roman Reigns and CM Punk at WrestleMania instead of a Triple Threat match. Many feel single matches would better showcase these performers rather than dividing focus in a multi-man contest.
Punk and Reigns could build toward a WrestleMania showdown following this incident. In this scenario, Rollins might make a surprise return during their match to cost Reigns a victory, potentially setting up a future singles match between the former Shield brothers at SummerSlam 2025.
This angle remains speculative at this point with no official confirmation from WWE regarding Rollins’ status or future plans.
