CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns will settle their long-standing rivalries in a highly anticipated triple-threat match at WrestleMania 41, taking place on April 19–20 in Las Vegas. The blockbuster match was officially announced by Triple H following a heated brawl on last night’s episode of WWE SmackDown.

The match brings together three of WWE’s biggest stars, whose history dates back to 2012 when The Shield debuted. Their recent encounters have only fueled tensions, setting the stage for a battle that could define their legacies.
Long-Building Rivalries Come to a Head
Rollins and Punk’s hostility has been simmering since Survivor Series 2023, when Punk made his shocking return. The two finally squared off in a one-on-one match at WWE Raw’s Netflix premiere on January 6, where Punk secured a victory.
Their rematch in a Steel Cage Match earlier this month saw Rollins emerge victorious—though only after Reigns interfered, igniting chaos between all three superstars.
Reigns’ road to WrestleMania was set in motion at SummerSlam 2024, when he returned to challenge his cousin Solo Sikoa, reclaiming his position as Tribal Chief. With the help of Paul Heyman and Punk, Reigns won the Men’s WarGames Match at Survivor Series.
However, at Royal Rumble 2025, Punk eliminated Reigns, intensifying their feud. Meanwhile, tensions between Rollins and Reigns remain unresolved since The Shield’s infamous breakup.
With personal vendettas, championship aspirations, and years of history behind them, Rollins, Reigns, and Punk are set for a WrestleMania showdown that could change WWE’s landscape forever.
