Seth Rollins closed out WrestleMania 41 weekend in emphatic fashion, aligning with Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker in a dramatic sequence that sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe. The segment began backstage, where Rollins was seen walking toward the ring alongside Heyman. Moments later, the pair made their entrance, with Heyman handing Rollins the microphone. Rollins wasted no time asserting his dominance, declaring that he had stolen CM Punk’s best friend, taken Roman Reigns’ Wiseman, and secured the main event victory at WrestleMania.
“I am…” Rollins began to proclaim—only for CM Punk’s music to cut him off. Punk charged the ring and immediately began brawling with Rollins. He cornered him and delivered a furious series of stomps and boots before shifting his focus to Heyman. The Wiseman stood his ground, but before Punk could strike, Rollins recovered and saved Heyman by gouging Punk’s eyes. He then delivered a vicious stomp to Punk, leaving him laid out.
With Punk motionless, Heyman delivered a bold proclamation: “This concludes WrestleMania 41 weekend with the message that there is a new reigning number one star in this entire industry — Seth Freaking Rollins.” As Rollins posed triumphantly, Roman Reigns’ music hit. Rollins quickly disposed of Punk, tossing him out of the ring as he awaited the arrival of Reigns.
Reigns made his way to the ring and immediately delivered a spear to Rollins, sending him tumbling outside. Reigns then landed a Superman Punch on Heyman and prepared to spear his former special counsel. Before he could strike, Bron Breakker stormed to the ring and delivered a massive spear to Reigns. A tense moment followed as Breakker and Rollins stared each other down, but it soon gave way to unity.
When Punk attempted to attack again, Breakker cut him off with another devastating spear. Breakker and Rollins embraced in the center of the ring before Breakker turned his attention back to Reigns. Outside the ring, Reigns caught Breakker with an uppercut, but Breakker responded by circling around the ring and spearing Reigns through the barricade.
Rollins, now fully in command, ordered Breakker to drag Reigns back into the ring. Once inside, Breakker applied a chokehold to Reigns, weakening him further. Rollins delivered another stomp to Punk, who had just begun to recover, and then followed with a brutal stomp to Reigns’ head.
The final image of WrestleMania 41 weekend was one of dominance and destruction: Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Seth Rollins standing tall over the fallen bodies of Roman Reigns and CM Punk as the screen faded to black.
It was a shocking development in the main event of night one of WWE WrestleMania 41 on Saturday, April 19, 2025, as Paul Heyman betrayed his best friend, CM Punk, as well as his Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, to help Seth Rollins win the Triple Threat match. Capping off tonight's Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania, Heyman and Rollins had an in-ring promo to talk about the situation—mostly to just gloat and soak in the boos from the audience, rather than say much of impact.
An angry CM Punk charged the ring, looking to get a measure of revenge on both of them, falling short of that goal considerably as The Visionary put him down with a stomp. Heyman declared Rollins to be the reigning, defending, undisputed No. 1 top star in the professional wrestling business right now, which then triggered Roman Reigns to come out to try to get his payback.
The Tribal Chief temporarily had the upper hand, spearing Rollins and knocking his former Wise Man down with a Superman Punch. However, he was taken out with a spear out of nowhere from a hooded man, who revealed himself to be Bron Breakker. The Unpredictable Badass has one of the best spears in the game (if not the best right now), and he followed his tackle on Reigns with another spear to Punk, who had begun to stir and was looking for more of a fight.
This is when Breakker was embraced by Rollins and Heyman, forming a new faction going forward to end the show. As expected given the cliffhanger, nothing was revealed as far as a name for this group, Breakker's motivations for joining, or how long this was planned out. There's your hook for next week's episode, or at least this coming Friday Night SmackDown.
These heel turns are among the many things freshening up the roster at the moment, following Becky Lynch's return to action and heel turn on Lyra Valkyria, Rusev's return to WWE, and of course, seeing John Cena as the villainous top world champion in the company, which should make for an interesting new season now that the post-WrestleMania reset is in effect.

Following WrestleMania 41, Paul Heyman teased a new Paul Heyman Guy coming soon. As it turns out, “soon” was this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw. None other than former Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker. Seth Rollins isn't the ONLY one to align with Paul Heyman.
Rollins was cutting a promo on taking Roman Reigns’ Wiseman and CM Punk’s best friend from him, with Heyman declaring him the new biggest star in the industry. He managed to take Punk out before Reigns showed up and appeared to get the better of both of them when a man clad in black arrived to make the save and take Reigns out himself. That man turned out to be Breakker, who solidified his place alongside Rollins in what sure looks like the newest Dangerous Alliance.
The WWE Raw after WrestleMania 41 closed with an angle revealing Bron Breakker as the newest “Paul Heyman Guy.” Breakker aligned with Heyman and Heyman’s other new charge Seth Rollins in the main event angle of Monday’s WWE Raw, giving Rollins an ally as he fends off Roman Reigns and CM Punk. Heyman turned on both Punk and Reigns in their main event match at WrestleMania 41 night one on Saturday, April 19, 2025.
Rollins and Heyman came to the ring for a promo in the closing segment of Monday’s episode, but were quickly interrupted by CM Punk. Punk and Rollins brawled, with Punk momentarily gaining the upper hand. As he turned his attention to Heyman, Rollins recovered and hit Punk with a curb stomp. Reigns then entered to extract his revenge on Heyman, hitting his former Wise Man with a superman punch. As Reigns went after Rollins, Breakker ran in and fought off Reigns, eventually spearing him through the ringside barricade.
The show closed with Punk and Reigns down, and the new dangerous alliance of Rollins, Breakker, and Heyman posing in the ring. This thrilling turn of events has left fans buzzing about the future of WWE and the potential storylines that will unfold as WrestleMania 42 approaches.
