Main Event Breakdown: Seth Rollins vs. Paul Heyman
The main event wasn’t a match, but it was more powerful than most matches we’ve seen. Seth Rollins called out Paul Heyman, demanding answers for the manipulation and mind games he's played. In a dramatic confrontation, Rollins exposed Heyman's true colors and revealed how Roman Reigns and CM Punk had been using Heyman as their puppet — or perhaps their mouthpiece of betrayal.
Heyman tried to weasel his way out, playing innocent as always, but Rollins wasn’t buying it. The tension in the arena was palpable. This segment reminded fans of the old-school Raw vibes — raw emotion, real storytelling, and a sense of unpredictability.
CM Punk Strikes: Brutal Attack on Seth Rollins
Just when it looked like Rollins would get the last word, boom! CM Punk appeared out of nowhere and launched a vicious assault on Seth Rollins. The crowd erupted in boos and cheers as Punk hammered Rollins down, showing no remorse.
This wasn’t just a sneak attack — it was a clear message. Punk is here, he’s angry, and he’s ready to take the main event spotlight at WrestleMania. His betrayal cemented him as a dangerous wildcard going into the Triple Threat match.
Seth Rollins Gets Revenge – Destroys Paul Heyman
Moments after Punk vanished backstage, Seth Rollins rose to his feet — bloodied, furious, and focused. With no hesitation, he turned his rage toward Paul Heyman. The Architect snapped and unleashed a brutal assault, leaving Heyman sprawled on the mat.
The message? Rollins isn’t just fighting for a title — he’s fighting for respect. And Paul Heyman? He’s now stuck in the middle of a war between three of WWE’s biggest icons.
Rollins Exposes Reigns and Punk – A Shocking Truth
Throughout the episode, Rollins dropped bombshell after bombshell. He revealed how Roman Reigns and CM Punk were manipulating Heyman, each using him to secure their place at the top. Rollins claimed that Punk didn’t earn his way into WrestleMania — he politicked his way in, with Heyman and Reigns pulling the strings.
This level of storytelling gave fans a new layer of drama. Who can you trust? Who's really calling the shots? WWE is at its best when it blurs the line between reality and fiction — and this was one of those moments.
Paul Heyman Owes Rollins – A Strange Twist
Interestingly, despite the beatdown, Heyman looked Rollins in the eye and said something shocking: “You saved me.”
Was Heyman genuinely grateful? Or is he playing another mind game? Only WrestleMania 41 will tell.

CM Punk’s WrestleMania Dream Becomes Reality
