ROMAN REIGNS PROMISES RETRIBUTION FOR CM PUNK’S PERSONAL SIKA ANOA’I FAMILY DIGS
Roman Reigns and CM Punk set the stage for a personal WrestleMania 42 main event after a shocking Sika Anoa’i mention.
Roman Reigns and CM Punk are set to headline Night Two of WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, and this feud has moved way past just fighting for a title.
Reigns punched his ticket by winning the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, his eleventh time in a WrestleMania main event. He didn’t hesitate. Right away, the head of the table called out CM Punk. He wanted the toughest fight he could get. Punk, who’s holding the World Heavyweight Championship, didn’t back down for a second. What started as a blockbuster title match got personal fast.
Things really heated up on the March 2 episode of RAW. Punk shocked everyone when he brought up Reigns’ late father, Sika Anoa’i, during a fiery promo. That one line changed everything. Reigns just stood there, furious, as RAW faded out. Fans started buzzing, waiting to see how he’d answer.
The Rock rumours started swirling right after. Jey and Jimmy Uso showed up on RAW to demand Punk apologise for dragging their uncle’s name into things. Punk didn’t flinch. He refused, and the Usos took him out in the ring. No more words, just fists.
Of course, the internet ran wild. Suddenly, a photoshopped image was everywhere: Reigns with the World Heavyweight title, staring down The Rock at WrestleMania. People started talking like The Rock might show up to take on Punk. The hype was real.
But that fantasy got shot down quickly. Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful shut the rumour down, plain and simple. He said it’s “absolutely not happening". So, no rock vs punk, at least not this time.
Reigns is set to appear on the March 16 episode of RAW in San Antonio. Neither he nor Punk has thrown a punch at each other yet, but you can feel it coming. With all the personal digs, family drama, and the title on the line, the tension is off the charts.
And there’s still the question of The Bloodline. After what happened on RAW, you can’t rule out Jey and Jimmy fully reuniting with Reigns. WrestleMania 42 is almost here, and honestly, nobody knows exactly where this is heading. The road to the main event just keeps getting wilder.
"ANYBODY BUT CODY": WHY IS DREW MCINTYRE SO OBSESSED WITH AVOIDING CODY RHODES AT WRESTLEMANIA?
SmackDown Title Crisis: Get the report on McIntyre’s Complex interview, the Elimination Chamber fallout, and the road to Vegas.
Drew McIntyre looks set to be one of the main faces of WrestleMania 42.
Earlier this year, he pulled off a big surprise on Friday Night SmackDown in Berlin. Out of nowhere, he interrupted Cody Rhodes and finally grabbed the world championship again, something he’d been chasing for a long time.
Last season was rough for Drew. He made it clear he was frustrated and wasn’t happy with how things went. Still, he kept showing up, gave his all, and stayed professional, trusting he’d get another shot.
That hard work paid off at the start of 2026. Now, everyone’s waiting to see which big match he’ll land at Mania 42. Originally, he was supposed to face the winner of the Elimination Chamber match. But now, plans are shifting.
Let’s talk about all the rumours swirling around Drew. Randy Orton took home a win in Chicago at the end of February. But SmackDown GM Nick Aldis just announced something new: McIntyre will defend his title against Cody Rhodes again on this Friday’s episode of SmackDown.
Some insiders think Drew might end up in a multi-man match at WrestleMania in Vegas next month. But Drew doesn’t seem thrilled about that idea. When Complex asked him about the rumours, he didn’t hold back: “Honestly, what was the point of the Elimination Chamber if it’s not leading to a one-on-one match? Right now, it’s Randy Orton and me. First, I’ve got to get past Cody on Friday. And if anyone tries to change that, I call it a breach of contract. All I want is anyone but Cody. So I’m coming in Friday with a whole new plan.”
He went on, “I need to get through Cody, keep my title, and walk into WrestleMania as champion for a singles match. Every title match at WrestleMania should be one-on-one. And once I get past Cody Rhodes, it’s going to be Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton.”
75% POWER: CAN A RECOVERING BRONSON REED STILL TAKE DOWN A REBUILDING SETH ROLLINS?
Bronson Reed is coming for Seth Rollins! Read about the "Vision" betrayal, Reed’s bicep surgery, and his chilling RAW warning.
Bronson Reed isn’t holding back; he’s got his eyes locked on Seth Rollins as WWE RAW gets closer.
This isn’t just your usual pre-show talk. Reed’s warning sounded heavier, like he knows something bigger is coming. WWE’s been shaking things up lately, and Reed just poured gasoline on the fire with what he said.
You can’t ignore where Reed’s coming from. Ever since The Vision fell apart, the group Rollins ran with, Paul Heyman and Reed’s been in a weird spot. Back then, he was the muscle, the quiet force that helped Rollins push his agenda. Now everything’s flipped. The way Reed talks to Rollins these days? It’s sharp and direct, and you can feel the tension.
People haven’t forgotten how it all blew up. Last October, Bron Breakker and Reed blindsided Rollins. That attack didn’t just end The Vision; it sent shockwaves through WWE. Rollins was left scrambling, trying to pick up the pieces. What was once a well-oiled crew just crumbled in one night.
And that betrayal? It didn’t fade out. If anything, it’s become the thread WWE keeps tugging. Every time Reed pops up now, the memory of that split hangs over him. His warning to Rollins isn’t just about competition; it feels personal, like there’s real unfinished business between them.
Even with his biceps torn and surgery ahead, Reed refuses to disappear. Most guys would stay quiet for months. Not him. He’s making sure nobody forgets who he’s coming after when he’s cleared. He already promised to come back “better and stronger", and you can tell this is just the opening move. WWE loves to plant seeds, and Reed’s doing it right in front of everyone.
He picked a smart moment, too. RAW is in flux, and Rollins has his own problems after his surgery last year. He’s working his way back to the top, but things aren’t like they were when The Vision ran things. That’s why Reed’s warning stings right now. Rollins is rebuilding; Reed’s out but making noise, and when they finally meet again, it won’t just be the same old fight. They’re both coming back for something they lost, but they remember the past in totally different ways.
Rollins’ situation just makes it all messier. He’s shown a lot of grit lately, but WWE’s clearly protecting him, not letting him take too much punishment. His recovery forced RAW to change course, and now he feels like a guy caught between who he was and who he’s trying to be again.
Reed’s challenge hits that nerve. He’s not only calling Rollins out physically; he’s making him face what went down in The Vision and what it cost them both. Whether Rollins fires back right away or lets things simmer, you can feel the anticipation building with the fans.
Where does RAW go from here? WWE might use Reed’s comments in a Rollins segment, weave them into a bigger story, or just let the threat hang in the air for a while. They’re good at saving these moments for when the timing is perfect, especially with injuries in play.
And don’t forget about Breakker. He teamed up with Reed in the big betrayal, and his absence adds even more mystery. When both guys come back, WWE’s got plenty of story threads to pull. Reed’s message feels like the first tug on that rope.
The bottom line: Reed isn’t just looking for attention. He’s making it clear his story with Rollins is far from over. Fans who watch every week can sense it. This isn’t about a match next Monday. It’s about laying the groundwork for something bigger down the line.
RAW lives for those returns and surprises that shake everything up. Reed’s making sure he’s at the centre of that next big moment, even while he’s sidelined. And whether Rollins responds now or waits, he’s already been dragged into Reed’s slow-burn setup.
