2. Roman Reigns Vs. Seth Rollins Vs. CM Punk – WrestleMania 41 Saturday
A blockbuster main event featuring former world champions Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk closed out night one of WrestleMania 41 weekend. All three men detested each other and were desperate to win. However, there was a caveat as WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman made his presence felt.
Reigns competed in his record 10th WrestleMania main event, which is a ridiculous achievement. They stole the show in one of the best WWE matches in 2025. Furthermore, Reigns was blindsided by his former Wiseman, Paul Heyman. Heyman nailed Reigns with a low block after doing the same to CM Punk, but Reigns’ rival, Seth Rollins, was the beneficiary as he formed an unlikely alliance with Heyman, and Rollins covered the Tribal Chief.
1. Roman Reigns Vs. Cody Rhodes – WrestleMania 40 Sunday
Cody Rhodes became the fourth man to win back-to-back men’s Royal Rumble matches in 2024. Inevitably, the American Nightmare chose to face Roman Reigns for the second consecutive year for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 40 Sunday. However, the deck was stacked against Rhodes, as it was a Bloodline Rules match, allowing the Bloodline to feature at ringside or interfere.
Rhodes knew it was now or never to finish the story. However, The Undertaker, The Rock, John Cena, and Seth Rollins made their presence felt by interfering. Furthermore, Reigns and Rhodes told an excellent story in an emotionally-feuled match. Ultimately, Rhodes ended Reigns’ record-breaking 1,316-day reign as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, finishing the story in style with multiple Cross Rhodes.
