MAIN EVENT
Seth Rollins def. Roman Reigns & CM Punk
Key Moment: Paul Heyman betrayed both Roman Reigns and CM Punk, helping Seth Rollins secure the victory in a shocking turn of events that nobody saw coming.
The anticipation for this match was palpable from the moment the entrances began. Seth Rollins entered first with a flamethrower, dressed initially in all black. After a dramatic light change, he reappeared in all white, wearing thorn-adorned sunglasses reminiscent of a messianic figure.
Roman Reigns followed with an entrance featuring panels showcasing legendary members of the Anoa’i family, including Yokozuna and the Wild Samoans, emphasizing his lineage and legacy in the business.
Set to his original theme “This Fire Burns,” CM Punk’s entrance was preceded by a video package focusing on his legendary “My addiction is pro wrestling” promo. He then came out to a live performance of “Cult of Personality” with Paul Heyman, who gave Punk a kiss on the forehead before the match started.
The action spilled outside early, with Punk and Rollins brawling through the crowd until Reigns came flying out of nowhere to take them both down. The match featured multiple collaborative and betrayal moments, including a sequence where Punk and Reigns executed a Doomsday Device on Rollins, and another where Rollins attempted to reform The Shield with Reigns to powerbomb Punk.
The finish came when Paul Heyman, after seeming conflicted throughout, brought a steel chair into the match. When he slid it to Punk, everyone expected the symbolic callback to Punk’s history. Instead, Heyman shockingly low-blowed Punk, allowing Reigns to destroy him with chair shots. As Reigns turned his attention to Rollins, Heyman struck again with a second low blow on Reigns, handing the chair to Rollins, who decimated Reigns and secured the victory.
