The 42nd edition of WWE WrestleMania will emanate from Las Vegas.
The 42nd edition of WrestleMania will take place as a two-night event on April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. The promotion has announced multiple World title matches for the two-night spectacle.
One of the matches announced to headline the PLE is the World Heavyweight Championship bout, where CM Punk will defend his title against Roman Reigns. The rivalry between the two has escalated, fueled by both personal insults and in-ring confrontations.
On the other hand, Roman and Punk’s Mania 41 opponent, Seth Rollins, who recently made his return from injury, is expected to face Bron Breakker, who betrayed and kicked him out of the Vision faction. Breakker is currently out of action due to an injury, but is speculated to make his return in time for Mania.
That said, a wild fan theory involving the three superstars, along with others, predicting the outcome of the PLE has gone viral, with many fans claiming it’s more exciting and creative than anything WWE could script.
CM Punk’s alliance with the Vision?
Predicting the outcome, the fan theory suggests a masked man helping The Vision’s Logan Paul and Austin Theory beat The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) to capture the World Tag Team titles. The prediction is regarding the reported clash between Logan & Theory and The Usos for the tag titles, which seems to be the direction that the storyline is going in.
The theory then states Punk beating Roman at Night 2, with the help of the Vision faction, turning heel in the process and becoming the new leader of the faction.
This scenario would set up a showdown between babyface Seth Rollins and heel CM Punk, with Roman Reigns siding with Rollins. Adding to the mix, Jon Moxley, formerly known as Dean Ambrose, would return to join the alliance, setting the stage for a clash between The Shield and The Vision.
Now, while some fans are commending the theory, others point out obvious loopholes, mainly that the return of Jon Moxley, who didn’t leave WWE on good terms, is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
However, except for the theory of Shield vs Vision, the theory still sounds amazing, especially as it would add to the long-term storytelling between Punk and Rollins and make it a full circle moment for Rollins, creating the faction and using it against Punk, among others.
It would also benefit Paul Heyman, who is working hard to keep the faction intact amid injuries and setbacks. Heyman and CM Punk share a long history of alliances and betrayals, and this strategy could be credited to Heyman, further cementing his legacy while revitalizing the faction, this time with Punk at the helm.
Punk has delivered some of his most iconic works as a heel during his first WWE tenure, and some fans have been hoping for him to turn to the dark side. It remains to be seen if the promotion agrees to turn such a fan-favorite star into a heel.
Whatever the case, the promotion needs to deliver something special for this year’s WrestleMania, as ticket sales have been slow, prompting WWE to offer discounts. Fans have also grown skeptical of the product after several underwhelming shows, highlighting ongoing creative shortcomings that the company must address to reignite interest and excitement.
