Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins in a triple threat, has been announced to be the main event of WrestleMania 41. There is still confusion with the placement of the match as most of the fans think that this match will headline Night One of the show with the Undisputed WWE Championship Match between John Cena and Cody Rhodes serving to be the actual main event.
Irrespective of the match placement, The OTC is heading into yet another main event bout at Wrestlemania, next month, which will now make him the holder of an incredible record. The former WWE Universal Champion will make history as he’d be the first man to have 10 WrestleMania main event matches by his name. The top 5 main-eventer spots in Wrestlemania history are given below,
1. Roman Reigns (9)
2. Hulk Hogan (8)
3. Triple H (7)
4. The Undertaker, The Rock, John Cena, Shawn Michaels & Brock Lesnar (5)
5. Stone Cold Steve Austin (4)
On the reverse side, this is going to be CM Punk’s first WrestleMania main event, which made him visibly emotional during the contract signing segment of the match in London. The fans present at the O2 Arena broke into “you deserve it” chants as he thanked the fans. Roman Reigns said Punk should be thanking him for securing the spot while Rollins made it clear that Punk didn’t deserve that spotlight.
Coming back to Roman Reigns, he picked up 9 wins at Wrestlemania in history. Picking up one more win would put him into the second spot when it comes to getting maximum wins at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Of course, The Undertaker tops the spot with an astounding 25-2 win-loss record at ‘Mania with Edge being the second with a 10-4 record.
