CM Punk & Roman Reigns to appear
For the final time before their main event showdown with the World Heavyweight title on the line, CM Punk and Roman Reigns will face off. The appearance comes on the heels of last week, when Reigns was absent from the show, while Punk cut a scathing promo, not just on Reigns, but also blasted The Rock and Pat McAfee.
Last time around, when the two stars collided, it ended in a brawl with CM Punk taking the upper hand, slamming Reigns through the announce desk to end the March 30 edition of the show.
Brock Lesnar appears
‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar‘s final stop on his Road to WrestleMania schedule is at the April 13 edition. Lesnar is set to face Oba Femi at the ‘Grandest Stage.’ Femi answered Lesnar’s open challenge and has had the upper hand every time the two have collided.
Last week’s contract signing spiraled into complete chaos, with both competitors continuing to brawl even after the show went off the air. What unfolds in Sacramento on the go-home show is still uncertain, but the highly anticipated showdown will once again take center stage ahead of this weekend.
