WrestleMania 41 is five Saturdays away. While that seems like a lot, it will fly by and then the event will be upon us. Several major stories are taking shape. Yet, there’s one individual who doesn’t seem to have a clear path to WrestleMania 41, and that person is Roman Reigns. But all that changed on the March 10 episode of Monday Night Raw.
Let’s be blunt. WrestleMania isn’t WrestleMania without The Tribal Chief. Roman Reigns has been the focal point of WWE for the last several years, and that’s still the situation even if he’s not the champion. There are several big angles to look forward to those two nights, but none of them seem to include Reigns.
However, the angle with Seth Rollins and CM Punk is the perfect place to include the former champion. And include the former champion WWE did as Roman Reigns got involved with the main event cage match, dragging Rollins out to give him the victory and costing Punk at the same time.
After demolishing Rollins, Reigns noticed that Paul Heyman was in the ring consoling CM Punk. The Tribal Chief turned his focus to Punk and smashed him around the ring, to the cheers of the crowd.
Roman Reigns versus Seth Rollins versus CM Punk is the perfect match
The focus now turns to WrestleMania 41. The angle between CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns is right there.
The table is now set for what will be a major triple threat at WrestleMania 41. This is the perfect way to keep three huge names out of the title picture, while giving them a major match with stakes at the biggest PLE of the year. Seth Rollins versus Roman Reigns versus CM Punk is a main event match any year, but especially this one, as WWE enjoys surging business success. One night headlined by John Cena versus Cody Rhodes, and the other headlined by these three names is big business.
It will be interesting to see how this story is told from this point forward. Who will Paul Heyman side with? Will this match come with the stakes that the winner is determined to be the number one contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? There are so many questions to ask, and few will be answered over the next five weeks.
Seth Rollins versus Roman Reigns versus CM Punk is the type of match that WrestleMania is built for. These three men will headline one of the two nights and surely shut down the show with a huge match worthy of Match of the Year considerations.
