Seth Rollins Stuns WrestleMania as Paul Heyman Helps Seal Main Event Victory at WrestleMania 41

WrestleMania’s grandest stage played host to a generational showdown as Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk collided in a triple-threat main event that promised chaos and delivered on every level. 

Seth Rollins was the first to make his entrance, flamethrower in hand, as over fifteen minutes of hype finally gave way to in-ring action. As he made his way down the ramp, the lights went out and the crowd sang along to his entrance theme. When the lights returned, Rollins had swapped his black robe—likely flame-retardant—for a stunning white ensemble.

Next to arrive was Roman Reigns, walking solo and poised to main event WrestleMania for the tenth time, a record-setting feat according to Michael Cole. Cole added that Reigns' 9-3 WrestleMania record places him among elite company, trailing only The Undertaker, John Cena, Edge, and Triple H in wins.

CM Punk entered last, accompanied by Paul Heyman and the band Living Color, who performed "Cult of Personality" live for over 61,000 fans in attendance. Punk’s entrance was preceded by a unique vignette, blending classic promo footage with new, re-recorded material. Clearly energized, Punk looked more than ready for his WrestleMania main event return.

Once in the ring, the tension was immediate as the three men exchanged words. Punk rolled out to consult Heyman while Rollins taunted Reigns, claiming he did not belong there. Reigns responded with a slap and launched an aggressive assault on his former Shield ally. Punk tried to intervene, pulling Reigns off only to begin striking Rollins himself. Reigns and Punk soon came to blows, and although Reigns appeared to tweak his hamstring early on, he continued undeterred. After dropping Rollins and sending Punk outside, Reigns hit a drive-by dropkick and repeatedly slammed Punk’s face into the apron. When Punk retaliated by smashing Reigns into the ring post, Rollins followed up with a suicide dive.

The chaos escalated as Punk and Rollins brawled into the crowd. Punk landed steel chair shots while Rollins fought back using a barricade bar and a trash can, which he used multiple times on Punk’s back. Punk regained control momentarily, slamming Rollins onto a trash can before the brawl spilled back toward the ring. Just as things settled, Reigns reappeared and leapt over the barricade, wiping out both men. He then cleared the Spanish announce table, drawing a loud response from the crowd.

Back in the ring, Punk mocked Reigns with an “oo-ahhhh” and attempted a Spear, which Reigns dodged. Rollins rejoined the fray and all three battled until Punk executed a visually stunning double DDT spot—taking Rollins down with one arm while delivering a Reverse DDT to Reigns with the other. Punk climbed the turnbuckle and honored “Macho Man” Randy Savage with a diving elbow. He followed that with a scoop slam on Reigns, then headed up top again but was intercepted by Rollins. The two fought long enough for Reigns to join, resulting in a Doomsday Device on Rollins. Reigns quickly turned and hit Punk with a Superman Punch.

Reigns went for a Spear, but Punk countered with a knee. A GTS attempt by Punk failed, and a slugfest broke out between him and Reigns. Punk nearly locked in an Anaconda Vise, only for Rollins to land a Frog Splash on both men. Rollins followed up with Buckle Bombs on both Punk and Reigns before attempting a Pedigree on Punk. Punk countered with a GTS setup, but Reigns interrupted with a Spear. The action intensified with a Pedigree and a Stomp from Rollins, who tossed Punk out and nearly pinned Reigns.

Rollins then climbed the ropes for a top-rope strike, but Reigns dodged and Punk capitalized with a GTS—only for Reigns to kick out at the last second. As the match neared its climax, chaos erupted again. Rollins hit another Pedigree on Punk, and Reigns found himself caught between allegiances as Rollins attempted to ally with him. Reigns and Rollins then cleared a commentary table, setting up for a Shield Bomb on Punk. Reigns hesitated, then barked “pick him up!” and powerbombed Punk through a table before leveling Rollins. He repeated the powerbomb on Punk through a second table, then nearly pinned Rollins after a lightning-fast Spear.

In desperation, Reigns applied a chokehold to Rollins. Rollins fought it for as long as he could until Punk intervened with a Spear to Reigns. Punk followed up with a GTS to Rollins, only to be hit by a Spear from Reigns. Rollins, rebounding from the GTS, instinctively hit a Stomp on Reigns. All three men lay motionless.

At ringside, Paul Heyman retrieved a steel chair and approached the ring. Punk called for it, as did Reigns. Heyman slid the chair to Punk and then shockingly delivered a low blow to him, yelling, “you made me do it!” He handed the chair to Reigns, dropped to his knees, and acknowledged his Tribal Chief. Reigns brutalized Punk with repeated chair shots, while Heyman pointed out Rollins draped across the ropes.

In a stunning twist, Heyman turned on Reigns and delivered a low blow to him. The arena erupted in disbelief. Heyman handed the chair to Rollins and sat in the corner as the crowd sang Rollins’ theme. Rollins kissed the chair, struck Reigns across the back, and then landed a final Stomp to secure the victory.

Your Winner: Seth Rollins
