Roman Reigns is not a man with friends right now. Heading into WrestleMania 41, he has no backup to face his enemies, namely, Seth Rollins and CM Punk. The former has been inside his head since 2014, while the latter recently stole his Wiseman.
Reigns has not been himself since losing Paul Heyman to Punk. The salt in the wound is Rollins rubbing it in ever since it was revealed. The OTC previewed his crashout with a recent post, wherein he speaks to himself in a very serious tone.
Roman Reigns Delivers Scathing Promo Ahead of WrestleMania 41
Reigns recently posted a video of almost three minutes on social media accounts. In it, he speaks about how no one is grateful for what he’s done for the business. He goes on a rant about how he elevates everyone, yet all he gets for his work are betrayals, including one from Heyman.
The Tribal Chief then addressed his takeaways from everything happening around him. “Lessons learned,” he declared. “We don’t lose. We learn. Don’t trust anyone.”
It’s evident that Reigns is enraged by Heyman’s decision to side with Punk. While acknowledging Punk’s past assistance to Heyman, The Head of the Table is unable to reconcile this turn of events. His fury was palpable on this week’s RAW, and it’s likely to carry over into WrestleMania 41.
Roman Reigns abandons Paul Heyman
Still reeling from Heyman’s choice to be in Punk’s corner at WrestleMania, Reigns appeared on RAW and pointedly ignored his Wiseman throughout the show. In the ring, he confronted Heyman about his actions, expressing his inability to understand them.
Seth Rollins then interjected, attempting to manipulate the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. He labeled Heyman a snake and disloyal, suggesting Reigns would be better off without him. While Heyman protested, Reigns surprisingly agreed with Rollins.
Reigns caught The Visionary with a punch and proceeded to send him into the post. As Heyman erupted with a hearty acknowledgement, the OTC pushed him to the ground. This all but confirms their separation, and it should lead to some epic interactions at WrestleMania.
CM Punk hit the ring to make the save and began brawling with Reigns. The two failed to notice Rollins lurking nearby and paid for it. The Revolutionary stomped both his enemies into the mat, making a major statement ahead of their clash.
