WrestleMania 41 is taking shape fast—and after Friday Night SmackDown in Bologna, Italy, the lineup for WWE’s biggest show of the year just got even more stacked.

The night opened with Randy Orton trying to speak his mind, but Kevin Owens had other plans. He interrupted The Viper and pitched a tag team title run at WrestleMania. Orton wasn’t having it. “I’ve got a better idea,” he fired back—before officially challenging Owens to a singles match at the Grandest Stage of Them All. By the end of the show, the match was confirmed.

That wasn’t the only shake-up. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk all ended up in a chaotic face-to-face-to-face, and WWE didn’t waste time turning that moment into a main event. “Punk vs. Reigns vs. Rollins” is now locked in for WrestleMania 41, and yes, all three stars pointed at the Mania sign like true pros before the segment ended in an all-out brawl.

Here’s the updated WrestleMania 41 card coming out of SmackDown:
