The Road to WrestleMania 42 continues to heat up, with WWE dropping a huge announcement about Roman Reigns on Monday’s episode of Raw in Seattle.
The Tribal Chief wasn’t present at the Climate Pledge Arena, with his cousins and reigning World Tag Team Champions, The Usos, confronting CM Punk. Jimmy and Jey wanted The Second City Saint to apologize for bringing up Sika Anoa’i’s name last week.
Punk used the late legend during his heated segment with Reigns, threatening to bury The OTC alongside his father. The Usos were upset about what was said, so they demanded an apology for disrespecting the legendary member of the Anoa’i family.
But instead of apologizing for his remarks, The Voice of the Voiceless insinuated that Sika would be disappointed with Reigns for all the things he has done to the company, his family and his cousins.
The exchange turned physical, with Jimmy hitting Punk with a punch to the face. The Usos left the ring, with the World Heavyweight Champion looking on, as the show ended.
Reigns’ Next Appearance Announced
Before the final segment of the show featuring The Usos and Punk, Michael Cole announced some of the matches and appearances for next week’s show. Cole revealed that Reigns is returning to Raw and will likely address Punk’s comments about his father.
It will be Reigns’ third appearance on Raw since winning the 2026 Royal Rumble match at the end of January. Things have turned personal between the reigning World Heavyweight Champion and the No. 1 contender ahead of their WrestleMania 42 matchup.
With Sika being mentioned, Reigns can invoke the recent death of Punk’s beloved dog, Larry, as revenge, according to WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley.
“Punk went too far with Roman. ‘I’m going to bury you next to your dead father.’ You know what the consequences are going to be now? What do you think Roman is going to hit Punk with next time they talk?… Larry would be the obvious one to go after,” Bully said on Busted Open Radio.
Next week’s episode of Raw will emanate from the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Former NFL Player Mocks Reigns
In addition to Punk, The Tribal Chief might have a new challenger pretty soon. Amid Logan Paul’s beef with Tom Brady, former NFL player Le’Veon Bell delivered a threatening message to Reigns.
“I would THROTTLE @WWERomanReigns,” Bell tweeted.
Reigns was caught in the crossfire, especially after Paul canceled his planned boxing match with Bell. The former United States Champion claimed that WWE higher-ups didn’t allow him to re-enter the boxing ring, likely due to his status as a full-timer with the company.
However, it should be noted that the feud between Paul and Brady is not real. WrestleVotes reported last week that WWE is working on logos and merchandise for the seven-time Super Bowl champion. He will likely get nicknames, such as “T-Bone” and “The Untouchable.”
There’s no guarantee that Brady will be at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, but he’s well-connected with the city. He’s a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
