WrestleMania 41 Night One is in the books. After a night of action, the main event left fans talking and wondering what would come next. Paul Heyman not only turned on CM Punk, but he turned on his Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. This led to wild speculation that perhaps by the end of Night Two, Rollins and Heyman will form an alliance with the man who has been running everything all along, The Rock.

Roman Reigns has tirelessly attempted to keep his clutches on the position he deemed his at the Head of the Table. The build to WrestleMania 40 got out of hand when The Rock made a simple reference that set the stage for him and Reigns to have a showdown that never came as the fans made their voices heard.

However, the tension between The Rock and Reigns never truly went away. When Reigns dropped the title, Solo Sikoa claimed to be the Tribal Chief, but speculation always pointed to the idea that The Rock was the one pulling the strings.

Fast forward to 2025. The Rock orchestrated John Cena turning his back on the WWE Universe to get a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship. Heyman turned his back on his two biggest allies in Punk and Reigns, siding with the one who felt like the odd one out, Rollins. Fans are wondering if this points to the growing idea that perhaps Rollins has planned to align himself with The Rock to “secure” the future of the WWE in his eyes.

How does The Rock and John Cena fit into the equation?

All eyes are on the main event of Night Two. Cody Rhodes is defending the title against Cena with millions of eyeballs looking for every clue that The Rock will return to get involved. Throwing in the additional layer of Rollins and Heyman being involved adds so much to the story.

Will this bring CM Punk and Roman Reigns together in an allegiance of sorts? If Cena takes the Undisputed Championship, has Rollins positioned himself to get back to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? That would put Jey Uso into his crosshairs, further drawing in Reigns. There’s a lot to unpack here and fans are pulling apart every thread to figure out what’s next.

Opinions on Night One will range from bad to good, but the show ended on an interesting cliffhanger. Paul Heyman made his choice and he picked Seth Rollins. What does this mean for the future of WWE Monday Night Raw? Perhaps only The Rock knows.
