A week after the Steel Cage match on Raw, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk faced off in the ring on SmackDown. As expected, the segment quickly turned into chaos. This intense confrontation led WWE CCO Triple H to make a major announcement for WrestleMania 41. He revealed that the three stars will compete in a triple threat match at the event.
Tensions between the trio had been building since the Royal Rumble. During the men’s Rumble match, Reigns and Rollins reignited their rivalry. Punk seized the opportunity to eliminate both of them. However, Punk was also eliminated shortly after, sparking a heated brawl outside the ring. Rollins delivered brutal stomps to Reigns, including one on the steel steps, and clashed with Punk before officials stepped in.
Rollins and Punk have been feuding since Punk’s return to WWE. Their rivalry has escalated recently, with Rollins vowing to ruin Punk’s WrestleMania main event dreams. Rollins even cost Punk at Elimination Chamber by helping John Cena win after attacking Punk inside the structure. Reigns, though less involved, remains a key player in this ongoing drama.
With the triple threat match now official, the rivalry is expected to grow more personal. Paul Heyman’s relationship with both CM Punk and Roman Reigns will also be a significant factor. Heyman is likely to play a crucial role in the buildup, potentially altering the dynamics of the match. Fans can expect more twists and intense moments as WrestleMania approaches.
WWE fans react to Seth Rollin, Roman Roman Reigns & CM Punk triple threat match announcement at WrestleMania 41
The announcement of a high-profile triple threat match sparked mixed reactions among fans. While some were excited about the potential of this bout at WrestleMania, others expressed doubts. Many supporters believed the match could be a standout moment of the weekend, with some even pushing for it to headline Night 1. Their enthusiasm highlighted the anticipation for what could be a thrilling encounter.
However, not everyone was convinced. Critics argued that a triple threat match with no significant stakes didn’t deserve a spot on such a prestigious stage. They pointed to the SmackDown segment, criticizing the predictable brawl format and lack of creativity in the promos. For these fans, the match felt underwhelming and uninspired, failing to live up to WrestleMania’s grandeur.
Some fans speculated about Seth Rollins’ role, suggesting he was only included to take the pinfall. To make the match more compelling, others proposed adding stakes, such as a world title shot for the winner. Another idea was to integrate the match into the John Cena-Cody Rhodes showdown on Night 2. As the road to WrestleMania 41 unfolds, it remains to be seen how these ideas and criticisms will shape the final outcome.
