Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Gunther and Roman Reigns.
• While Seth Rollins and CM Punk are rumored to clash with Roman Reigns in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 41, both stars will first have a major challenge ahead of them — taking on Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at upcoming live events.
WWE has several house shows scheduled across Europe next month, and their German social media account have confirmed that The Ring General will defend his title against Seth Rollins in a Steel Cage match at two events in Germany.
Meanwhile, CM Punk will get a chance to battle Gunther in Austria, setting up a rematch from their December live event showdown. This will also be a Steel Cage match.
With Gunther defending the World Heavyweight Title against Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41, these upcoming matches could have major implications for the title picture leading into WWE’s biggest event of the year.
• Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins have been intertwined since their days in The Shield, and their storied rivalry continues to unfold. The two have faced off numerous times throughout their WWE careers, and their feud reignited at the Royal Rumble when Rollins attacked Reigns after both were eliminated from the match.
Following their eliminations, Rollins wasted no time in making a statement, laying out Reigns with repeated stomps. Their ongoing conflict is rumored to culminate in a high-stakes triple threat match at WrestleMania 41, where they will be joined by CM Punk in what promises to be a blockbuster showdown.
Reigns recently took a verbal jab at Rollins while watching a Bloodline playthrough of WWE 2K25 on IGN. The former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion did not hold back in his assessment of Rollins, likening him to someone unable to move forward.
Here’s what The Tribal Chief said:
“He’s like a stage five clinger, just holding on because he can’t move on with his life. Me, I created so much, a beautiful empire where we have pretty much everything. That’s what they do. They all come back. He’s just holding on.”
With tensions at an all-time high and their WrestleMania 41 clash looming, the rivalry between Reigns and Rollins is set to reach another explosive chapter. Fans can expect more heated exchanges and physical confrontations as the road to WrestleMania continues.
