Things didn’t cool off once the cameras stopped rolling on WWE SmackDown—if anything, they exploded.
After Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk officially signed the contract for their WrestleMania 41 Triple-Threat match, fans thought the drama was done for the night. But what happened once the show ended may have said even more than anything they signed on paper.
According to multiple eyewitnesses at the O2 Arena in London, Reigns and Rollins got into a heated argument after SmackDown went off the air. It came just moments after Paul Heyman confirmed the blockbuster match would headline one of the nights of WrestleMania 41—news that visibly rattled Rollins on-air.
Rollins, who’s made it clear he doesn’t want to see CM Punk achieve his dream of main-eventing WrestleMania, stormed out of the arena following the verbal clash. Reigns, not exactly calm himself, was reportedly “muttering angrily” on his way backstage.
With WrestleMania 41 right around the corner, this isn’t just about championship gold—it’s personal, and now we’re seeing cracks behind the curtain that are too loud to ignore.
What do you think sparked the off-air confrontation? Is this just heat for the cameras or something deeper brewing between Reigns and Rollins? Drop your thoughts in the comments—we want to hear it all.
