CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reign ‘closing out’ WWE WrestleMania 41
CM Punk is getting his WWE WrestleMania 41 main event.
The main event of SmackDown saw Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns sign their contract for WrestleMania 41 next month. After everyone made their entrance, Paul Heyman revealed to CM Punk that his dream was finally coming true as the triple threat match would be “closing out” WrestleMania.
An irate Rollins lashed out upon hearing the news, saying that Punk didn’t deserve it. As Punk was thanking the fans, Reigns cut him off and said that Punk should thank and acknowledge him instead. Punk got down on one knee and thanked Reigns and said that because of him, he’ll headline the main event of WrestleMania.
Punk, however, then revealed something that Reigns didn’t like: headlining WrestleMania was not the favor Heyman owed him.
After Reigns got involved in the steel cage match between Rollins and Punk on a recent edition of Raw, all three men met on last week’s SmackDown. It ended up becoming a pull-apart brawl, with the three-way match for WrestleMania soon becoming official.
