TOP STORIES TODAY
Roman Reigns simply can't seem to rid himself of the ghosts of his past, especially The Shield one. In an insane moment on the RAW before WrestleMania 41, he was revisited by trauma from his Shield days. As you may have expected, it came from none other than Seth Rollins. The Visionary played the role of the provocateur to Roman Reigns on RAW, telling him that it wasn't by chance that Paul Heyman would enter WrestleMania alongside CM Punk; it was a choice he was making.
Amid the chaos between Reigns and CM Punk, Rollins, who got taken out first, returned with a steel chair and smashed Reigns in the back, unleashing trauma from his Shield Days.
 On WrestleMania Night 2, Bron Breakker will defend the Intercontinental Championship against “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, Penta, and Finn Balor. At least, we're hoping that's still the case. On RAW, Bron Breakker hit an incredible double Spear on Dominik and Carlito before he was sent to the floor by Penta. After Penta laid out the field with a dive, the camera closed in on the pile of bodies. Eagle-eyed fans like @Ohsodios noticed the Intercontinental Champion holding his left knee. |  Ahead of the main event this week, Michael Cole confirmed that Roman Reigns would be entering WWE WrestleMania alone for the first time in years. He noted that Paul Heyman would be in the corner of CM Punk, and there was no more Bloodline because they had all gone their separate ways. Many fans believed that since it's a Triple Threat match, Roman Reigns could have some interference from The Bloodline, but since Jey Uso has his own match against Gunther, Jimmy Uso is AWOL following Gunther's attack, and Sami Zayn is nowhere to be seen, this probably won't be the case. |
FROM THE RUMOR MILL
A WWE source revealed the rumored match order to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, which included matches later confirmed for each night. While not confirmed, it was indicated that Jey Uso vs. Gunther will open Night One. World Tag Team Champions The War Raiders would then defend against The New Day, and Jade Cargill would battle Naomi in the third match of the night. Jacob Fatu vs. United States Champion LA Knight was listed next, followed by El Grande Americano vs. Rey Mysterio, and Charlotte Flair vs. Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women's Championship as the co-main event.
WrestleMania Sunday was apparently booked to open with Women's World Champion IYO SKY defending against Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair. Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker defending against Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, and Penta would go on second, followed by the Sin City Street Fight between Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre.Randy Orton's match against an unknown opponent is on the internal sheet next, then AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul. The co-main event of the night is marked as Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez defending the Women's Tag Team Championship against Lyra Valkyria and Bayley.
WHAT COULD BE NEXT?
Throughout the build-up to WrestleMania 41, bookers and officials do their best to prevent leaks from reaching the public. The best-case scenario is for things to play out as planned on RAW and SmackDown.
GMs and other officials can then make the rumored matches official instead of spoilers ruining the surprises. While WWE tries to keep a tight lid on things for its biggest show of the year, leaks occur now more than ever. Some are intentional, while others are mistakes.
