Unfortunately for Roman Reigns, the night didn't go in his favor, as he was pinned by his long-term nemesis and former tag team partner, Seth Rollins. The Visionary had offered his former Shield stablemate to ally against Punk temporarily. However, Reigns had other ideas and proceeded to powerbomb Punk and Rollins on the commentary tables.
At WrestleMania 41, Reigns made the walk by himself, as for the first time in years, Paul Heyman wasn't in his corner. It remains to be seen how the storyline will unfold in the coming weeks.
