Indianapolis: The city where The Shield debuted. The city where Seth Rollins stabbed them in the back. And now? The city where Seth Rollins just curb-stomped Roman Reigns back to 2014.
The Tribal Chief and the Visionary both made it to the final six of the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble, each hoping to punch their ticket to WrestleMania 41. But fate—or rather, CM Punk—had other plans.
How It Went Down:
✔️ Reigns tried to clothesline Rollins out of the match. Rollins held on for dear life, clinging to Reigns like an unwanted side quest.
✔️ It worked… for a second. But then CM Punk seized the moment and dumped BOTH men over the top rope. (Punk was promptly eliminated by Logan Paul, because of course.)
✔️ As Punk and Reigns stood outside the ring, confused and furious, Rollins made his move—hitting Reigns with a vicious stomp on the floor.
✔️ Security thought things had calmed down. They were wrong. Rollins flipped off Paul Heyman, then curb-stomped Reigns onto the STEEL STEPS. (Heyman’s soul briefly left his body.)
With Rollins, Punk, and Reigns all eliminated, the Rumble match moved on—but these three? Their real fight is only getting started.
The history between Reigns and Rollins in Indianapolis is already legendary. Now, are we about to see one more chapter at WrestleMania 41?
