4 Possible Finishes for CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42

WWE fever is sky high as WrestleMania takes over Allegiant Stadium this weekend. The Road to Mania has been sloppy and underwhelming at certain places, but fans will certainly tune in for the spectacle. 13 matches have been confirmed for the two-night show.

At WrestleMania 42: Night Two, Roman Reigns and CM Punk will finally settle their differences in the ring. The Reigns and Punk saga has been riveting. There is genuine tension between the two Superstars, as evident by their promos. Furthermore, the World Heavyweight Championship is also on the line. The WWE Universe is divided as they love both men, adding to the unpredictability and intrigue.

Since Reigns and Punk are two of WWE’s biggest and most protected stars, it is difficult to predict a winner with complete certainty. One thing is for sure: both men will tear the house down in the main event of WrestleMania Sunday.

On that note, let’s look at 4 potential finishes for CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42.

#4. Roman Reigns Pins CM Punk Clean to Win the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42

Although CM Punk may have thrown him off his game with his words, Roman Reigns will certainly bring his A game this Sunday. The OTC has had a rough couple of years. Since dropping the WWE Universal Title to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, Reigns has kept his distance from the World Title.

However, 2026 has been different. Reigns started the year strong with an impressive Royal Rumble victory, booking a date with the Straight Edge World Heavyweight Champion at Mania. The OTC has regained his spark, and it looks prepared for a fight at the Show of Shows. Moreover, he has defeated Punk in the past.

The OTC boldly told Punk to enjoy his days as World Champion. Momentum is also on Reigns’ side, and he has more experience as a WrestleMania main eventer. Therefore, fans shouldn’t be shocked if Reigns pins Punk to win the World Heavyweight Title.
