Speculation on Paul Heyman Playing a Major Role at WrestleMania 41 – As noted, WWE confirmed that Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins will collide in a highly anticipated triple threat match at WrestleMania 41. With long-standing tensions and personal rivalries coming to a head, this bout is shaping up to be one of the marquee matches of the two-night event.
The animosity among the three competitors has been intensifying for months. CM Punk and Seth Rollins have been at odds since Punk’s return, beginning with Punk’s victory over Rollins on the RAW on Netflix premiere in January. However, Rollins evened the score earlier this month when he defeated Punk in a steel cage match, though his win came with an assist from Reigns.
Reigns and Punk also have their own unresolved issues. After joining forces at Survivor Series in the WarGames match, Punk eliminated Reigns from the Royal Rumble in February. The Tribal Chief retaliated by interfering in Punk’s cage match with Rollins, reigniting their hostilities.
The situation reached a boiling point on the March 22 episode of SmackDown when all three men engaged in a chaotic brawl to close the show. With personal grudges fueling their battle and championship aspirations in play, this WrestleMania clash has all the makings of an instant classic.
On “Busted Open Radio,” Tommy Dreamer shared his thoughts on the upcoming match, suggesting that Paul Heyman could play a pivotal role in determining the outcome. Dreamer speculated that Heyman might have to choose between his long-time ally Reigns and the full-time presence of Punk, making his decision a critical factor in the match’s result.
He said, “I think Paul Heyman is going to decide the finish if this is the match. … This whole thing with Punk and Paul, at the end of the day, Punk is more of a full-timer than Roman. I don’t know if Paul would go to his friend as opposed to his money train, because also the money train may be, in Paul’s mind, not producing as much money. That’s always Paul’s bottom line. I’m talking [strictly about] the character.”
With the stakes at an all-time high, the road to WrestleMania 41 is only getting more intense.
