Paul Heyman Turns Heel on CM Punk & Roman Reigns and Aligns with Seth Rollins at WWE WrestleMania 41

Saturday’s WWE WrestleMania 41 Night 1 event at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada featured Paul Heyman turning heel and attacking both CM Punk and Roman Reigns and aligned himself with Seth Rollins.

Near the end of the main event Triple Threat match between Punk, Rollins, and Reigns, Heyman was seen walking towards the timekeeper’s area and pulled out a chair. Heyman then made his way towards the ring and looked at both Punk and Roman and then slid the chair over to Punk’s direction. Heyman then got into the ring and as Punk was about to hit Reigns with the chair, Heyman delivered a low blow to Punk laying him out. This led to Reigns giving a smile and Heyman yelling that Punk made him do that and proclaimed his loyalty to his Tribal Chief.

Heyman then handed the chair to Reigns and told him that Rollins was in the same position he was when Rollins turned on the Shield. As Reigns prepared to strike Rollins with the chair, Heyman walked behind Reigns and delivered another low blow laying out Reigns. Heyman grabbed the chair leading to Rollins extending his hand. Heyman gave the chair to Rollins and then sat in the corner as Rollins attacked Reigns with it. Rollins followed it with a curb stomp to Reigns for the pinfall victory and celebrated his win with Heyman as the two left the ring together.
