Roman Reigns May Challenge Huge WWE Champion At WrestleMania

Roman Reigns has been advertised for WrestleMania 42, and with that arrived the question of who his opponent will be at The Grandest Stage of All.

Given that CM Punk has been advertised and he recently became the new World Heavyweight Champion, one can assume that The OTC will challenge the Second City Saint.

However, Seth Rollins is expected to be out of action till April 2026, and WrestleMania 42 begins on April 18th, 2026. If The Visionary does not return by then, Reigns vs. Punk is a huge possibility.

Roman Reigns can challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship

On Notsam Wrestling, the idea of The OTC challenging The Best in the World was discussed. Sam Roberts dived into the moment that The OTC considers a betrayal, and that is when Paul Heyman chose Punk over him ahead of WrestleMania.

The idea of Roman Reigns winning say the Royal Rumble and for February, March, and most of April, you tell the story of Roman Reigns getting to get revenge on CM Punk. And you begin that story at War Games.

You have Roman Reigns on CM Punk’s team at War Games. As tense as it was a year ago, you bring that tension all the way up. It’s the one-year anniversary of the night that CM Punk poisoned the well. It’s the one-year anniversary of the night that CM Punk ruined the bloodline, ruined what they had created. That’s this year’s Survivor Series.

Roman Reigns, on more than one occasion, since then, when he came back, and he helped Jey Uso up, but he wouldn’t help CM Punk up. Roman Reigns, in a promo, said to Paul Heyman that you betrayed me by choosing CM Punk over me. He didn’t say you betrayed me by choosing Seth Rollins over me. He didn’t consider the ultimate betrayal to be the WrestleMania betrayal that happened in the match. He considered the ultimate betrayal to be the WrestleMania betrayal that happened on the way to WrestleMania.

CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns is a dream match waiting to happen. The story behind their rivalry isn’t just about a championship gold, but runs much deeper.
