Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins Engage in Wild Brawl on WWE SmackDown – The ongoing rivalry between Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins took a dramatic turn on the March 21st episode of WWE SmackDown, setting the stage for a high-stakes clash at WrestleMania 41.
In recent months, tensions have escalated between the three stars. Punk and Rollins have been at odds since Punk’s return, with their animosity growing after Punk defeated Rollins on the WWE RAW on Netflix premiere. At the Royal Rumble, Punk eliminated both Reigns and Rollins, fueling the conflict. Rollins retaliated by attacking Reigns at ringside. Reigns, who had been absent for weeks, returned on the March 10th episode of RAW, interfering in Rollins’ Steel Cage Match against Punk and attacking both men.
Roman Reigns Calls Out CM Punk and Seth Rollins
Reigns made his way to the ring, visibly frustrated after recent events. He reminded the WWE Universe that CM Punk cost him the Royal Rumble match and that Seth Rollins tried to take him out at Madison Square Garden. Reigns declared that neither man had gotten the better of him, and he issued an open challenge, daring anyone to confront him.
Seth Rollins was the first to answer. The World Heavyweight Champion walked down the ramp and stepped into the ring, locking eyes with Reigns. He told Reigns that he had made a critical mistake by interfering in his business, especially when it came to CM Punk. Rollins warned that Punk was a dangerous threat to the future of WWE and insisted that Reigns should have let him finish the job.
However, Rollins made it clear that his real focus was Reigns. He told the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion that, despite everything, it had always been about the two of them. Rollins stated that they could not coexist in WWE and that their rivalry was far from over. Before Rollins could continue, CM Punk’s music hit, and the Best in the World made his way to the ring.
CM Punk Takes the Fight to Roman Reigns
Punk entered the ring and wasted no time addressing Reigns and Rollins. He pointed out that neither of them had ever defeated him cleanly, and he took a direct shot at Paul Heyman, sarcastically thanking him for “delivering” Reigns on a silver platter. As Reigns turned to glare at Heyman, Punk saw his opening and attacked Reigns from behind.
The sudden attack sent Reigns reeling, and Rollins quickly jumped into the fray, targeting Punk. The three men erupted into an all-out brawl, forcing WWE officials and security to rush down to ringside in an attempt to restore order.
The Chaos Escalates
As the brawl intensified, Punk pointed to the WrestleMania sign, signaling his intentions. Rollins seized the opportunity and launched himself over the ropes, crashing onto both Punk and Reigns.
However, Reigns quickly regained control, grabbing the steel steps and using them as a weapon. He leveled both Punk and Rollins, standing tall as the carnage unfolded around him.
Despite the officials’ best efforts to separate them, the fight continued. Reigns, Punk, and Rollins kept attacking each other, refusing to back down. The show went off the air with the three men still throwing punches, making it clear that their feud is far from over.
With WrestleMania 41 approaching, the intensity between these three superstars is only increasing. It remains to be seen whether WWE will officially announce a triple-threat match, but after this explosive SmackDown segment, the battle lines have been drawn.
