There is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding next month’s WrestleMania 42, but the main event match between World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns is shaping up to be an all-timer. The hotly anticipated match between two of the most polarizing figures in modern wrestling history is headlining WWE’s return to Las Vegas, and these two are already off to the races.
Though they faced each other (and Seth Rollins) in the triple threat that headlined WrestleMania 41 Night 1 last year, their one-on-one bout at the upcoming WWE event feels different. It feels bigger (not just because it’s for the title), more heated, and a whole lot more real. It’s been one of the hardest-hitting feuds in WWE since it started a little more than a month ago, and I cannot wait to see where this goes.
