Seth Rollins pinned Roman Reigns to win the high stakes WrestleMania 41 night one triple threat main event match.
In a main event that is sure to go down in history, Rollins, with the help of Paul Heyman, nailed Reigns with a steel chair to the back before delivering a stomp to the head and pinned his former Shield brother in a shocking conclusion at the Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas.
Heyman, who accompanied Punk to the ring as part of a favour owed betrayed his best friend by delivering a low blow just as he was about to strike Reigns with the chair. At that point, it appeared Heyman had made amends with his Tribal Chief.
However, Heyman served Reigns with a low blow too and then handed the chair to Rollins before leaving with the victor which suggests some sort of alliance between the pair.
The night began with the World Heavyweight championship match between Gunther and Jey Uso. After surviving an onslaught from the defending champion, the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble winner turned things around, hitting a spear, a superkick and three splashes before making the ‘Ring General’ tap out with his own sleeper submission hold.
And with that, Jey Uso is the new World Heavyweight champion and he was joined in the ring by his twin brother Jimmy Uso as they celebrated the biggest win in his career do date.
