WWE Superstar Seth Rollins has embarked on a mission to save pro wrestling. Turning heel, The Visionary has Paul Heyman on his side, along with Bron Breakker, who helped him destroy CM Punk and Roman Reigns on this week’s episode of RAW. Now, there is a chance that Rollins could introduce Drew McIntyre as the fourth member of his alliance.
The Scottish Warrior was embroiled in a heated feud with CM Punk last year. The former World Heavyweight Champion was robbed of the title minutes after winning it at WrestleMania XL when Punk blindsided him and enabled Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract. The Second City Saint also cost him chances to regain the title on other occasions.
This resulted in an iconic trilogy of matches between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre, filled with intense promos and tight storytelling. Punk emerged victorious with a 2-1 lead at the 2024 Bad Blood. In January 2025, The Scottish Warrior shifted his focus back to Roman Reigns and The Bloodline, who had cost him the WWE Championship at the 2022 Clash at the Castle. This came after the OTC regained his Ula Fala from Solo Sikoa.
During this time, McIntyre was also feuding with Seth Rollins, the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion, whom he dethroned at 'Mania XL. He accused The Visionary of hating on the OTC and The Straight Edge Superstar, but being all bark and no bite.
While the Netflix debut of RAW saw both the enemies of The Visionary - Roman Reigns and CM Punk - emerge victorious, it wasn’t game over for him just yet. He decimated both of them in the main event of Night One of WrestleMania 41 while turning their most reliable ally, Paul Heyman, against them.
Since Seth Rollins has now proven his mettle and the power of his long-term strategies, Drew McIntyre may choose to join his cause. Therefore, there is a possibility that The Scottish Warrior could become the fourth member of The Architect’s alliance. While this is a big possibility, all of this is speculation so far.
Why did Paul Heyman align with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41?
Paul Heyman found himself in a crisis when CM Punk asked him to be in his corner at WrestleMania 41. Roman Reigns told his Wiseman to say no to The Second City Saint. However, the Hall of Famer couldn’t do so because Punk had helped the OTC during the Bloodline Civil War at the 2024 Survivor Series: WarGames. Now, Heyman had to return the favor.
Owing to this, The Tribal Chief later put his hands on Paul Heyman as well. The Wiseman soon realized that while Reigns prioritized himself, the same was true for Punk, who put him in such a tough situation. He also mentioned this during the Pat McAfee Show following The Show of Shows.
Thus, siding with Seth Rollins, who notably said that he doesn’t have any selfish agenda and wants to protect the business of pro wrestling, was a natural option for Paul Heyman. It will be interesting to see what this alliance plans to do next.
