The Road to WWE WrestleMania 42 is now underway. Now that the Royal Rumble has finished, the wrestling world is getting ready for the next few months of adrenaline-fueled programming. It’s the time of year when WWE shines, and they pull out all the big angles to drum up as much excitement as possible for the Show of Shows.
With the Royal Rumble being over, we can begin to see WrestleMania’s card take shape. Nothing has been announced yet, but we can infer from how the night in Saudi Arabia went that there are a few matches set in stone. Let’s take a look at how the card will be shaping up for April. 9th and 10th.
World Championship Match: Roman Reigns vs CM Punk
The Big Dog winning the Royal Rumble gives him his choice of champion at WrestleMania, and it would appear as if CM Punk will be that champion.
Roman Reigns and CM Punk have oodles of history, and a built-in story that even the worst of bookers couldn’t fumble. They are both former Paul Heyman Guys and have been at odds with one another since CM Punk came back to World Wrestling Entertainment. For the most part, this has been a heel versus babyface dynamic, but headed into WrestleMania, we will see something more interesting.
CM Punk and Roman Reigns are in prime babyface mode, and that’s going to prove interesting going forward. Sure, we are going to see some heel tendencies here, but the crowd is going to be split, and you can believe that both men will play off this. CM Punk defending the World Championship against Roman Reigns is the marquee match that needs to be the main event on night two.
Of course, this has already been confirmed on the Raw after the Rumble. Now, we speculate, is day one or day two? Reigns is one of the biggest stars in WWE History, going up against this generation’s “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, we predict without a doubt it will be on night two. As far as stipulation goes, take your pick of the litter: No Holds Barred, a Street Fight, a Steel Cage, or maybe this is the match WWE brings back the Hell in a Cell.
Regardless, Punk vs. Reigns more than likely will be the very final match of the two-day spectacular.
