In the thrilling triple-threat match main event between Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins during WrestleMania 41 Night 1, Paul Heyman shocked the wrestling world by betraying his two close friends. The WWE Hall of Famer turned on both longtime allies, Reigns and Punk, to join forces with Rollins.
Now, fans eagerly await to hear what Heyman has to say, and they’ll likely get answers on the first RAW after the grand event. Will he explain his actions, or will we see drama unfold with Reigns and Punk seeking revenge? There’s a lot of speculation about what Heyman could do the night after WrestleMania.
What Could Paul Heyman Do on RAW?
As predicted by many, the match result was heavily influenced (or we could say decided) by what Heyman did during the main event. In the final moments of the match, Heyman handed a steel chair to Punk, but seconds later, delivered a low blow to The Best in the World, hinting he had returned to the side of the Tribal Chief.
Just when it looked like he had picked Reigns, Heyman hit another low blow. It was finally clear he had aligned with Rollins, who then took advantage of the chaos, attacked his longtime rival Reigns, and pinned him to win the match.
Now, with Heyman expected to appear on the April 21 episode of Monday Night RAW, here are three things he could do.
Address His Betrayal
The WWE Universe is waiting to hear why the veteran betrayed both Reigns and Punk. Before the match, many speculated that Heyman would choose Punk and break ties with Reigns. Others thought he might go back to the OTC and turn on the Second City Saint.
Only a few expected him to betray both and side with Rollins. On RAW, Heyman might step into the ring to finally explain his shocking move and what led him to stand with the Architect.
Confront Roman Reigns and CM Punk
Heyman has history with both men. He managed Punk back in 2013 and stood beside Reigns as his Wise Man since 2020. Over the past few months, there were rumors of him turning on Reigns to support Punk, but in a surprise twist, he betrayed both and aligned with their common rival.
On RAW, we might see Reigns and Punk confront Heyman in the ring, looking for answers — or maybe revenge.
Officially Announce His Alliance With Seth Rollins
While WrestleMania made it clear that Heyman now has a new client, an official announcement could be coming on RAW. He may stand beside Rollins, declare their partnership, and shed some light on what’s next.
Both Rollins and Heyman care deeply about the business, so it wouldn’t be surprising to hear them discuss their vision. Will this new alliance dominate WWE? Or will Reigns, Punk, or both cross paths with them again?
