The closing segment of the show saw the 2026 Royal Rumble winner - Reigns - decide to choose Punk as his opponent for WrestleMania 42.
Punk's challenger, for the World Heavyweight Championship, made a strong mission statement for the April showcase calling on some comments Punk had made about Reigns on Colt Cabana's podcast in late 2014.
Yes, things Punk said about Roman Reigns' early career twelve years ago are now being used to promote what will likely be WWE's biggest match of this year.
Incredible stuff.
And I'm not trying to be ironic stating that. The entire segment on Monday night was money. You had Reigns ending the dialogue by stating how much he dislikes Punk.
No, that's too kind. Reigns HATES Punk. The fun part is we don't know if he genuinely does, or if it's all for show.
Maybe it's a bit of both for all we know.
I've been quite down on the WWE product lately. This sure was a step in the right direction.
Speaking of sureties. This will absolutely will be the match which goes on last at Mania 42. There's no way anything else will come close to being a contender for that particular main event slot.
