Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins to re-form The Shield with WWE veteran at WrestleMania 41? Potential twist explored

Here’s a rewritten version of the content:

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins have a long and storied history, and their paths have crossed once again in the build-up to WrestleMania 41. Recently, The OTC (Roman Reigns) made his return to WWE, delivering a brutal attack on his former Shield brother, Seth Rollins, as payback for Rollins’ aggressive assault at the Royal Rumble 2025.

While the two have seemingly settled their personal scores, there’s a surprising twist that could see them reunite as The Shield, with Paul Heyman stepping in as their manager, to take on their mutual enemy, CM Punk, at WrestleMania. Despite their well-documented dislike for each other, their shared hatred for CM Punk might just be enough to bridge the gap between them.

This week’s episode of SmackDown will see CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins come face-to-face for the first time since The OTC’s dramatic appearance during Rollins and Punk’s steel cage match on RAW. While WWE might announce a Triple Threat match between the three stars, there’s speculation that it could evolve into a two-on-one handicap match at WrestleMania, with Rollins and Reigns joining forces to take down CM Punk, and Paul Heyman returning as The Shield’s manager.

If this happens, Reigns and Rollins could either continue as a dominant tag team, aiming to become the greatest duo in WWE history, or return to their rivalry after eliminating their common enemy.

Will Paul Heyman Betray Roman Reigns?

During Roman Reigns’ recent return to RAW, Paul Heyman was seen checking on CM Punk before Reigns launched his attack. This, coupled with Heyman’s appearance on SmackDown to announce Reigns’ return, has left fans questioning his loyalty. While Heyman remains Reigns’ special counsel, his actions hint at a possible alignment with CM Punk. Fans are now eagerly watching to see if Heyman will betray The Tribal Chief on the Road to WrestleMania.
