Near the end of the match, Heyman handed a steel chair to CM Punk. But instead of helping him, he hit Punk with a low blow. After that, he gave the chair to Reigns, just to betray him too. Moments later, Heyman stood next to Rollins, showing he had switched sides.

This shocking turn hurt Reigns not just in the match, but also as a character. It was clear that Heyman had left Reigns for good.

In the middle of all the chaos, there was one small moment that fans almost missed. After Reigns jumped outside the ring onto Punk and Rollins, he quietly checked on both of them. It was a soft moment that showed the real man behind the character. Even though it was quick, cameras caught it, and fans loved it.

With no help from Heyman, Reigns walked into WrestleMania all by himself. This was the first time in many years he had no one by his side. And during the match, he showed why he’s still one of the toughest in WWE.

At one point, Seth Rollins asked him to team up against Punk. But Reigns said no, and instead, powerbombed both Punk and Rollins onto the tables near the ring. It was classic Roman Reigns strong, bold, and fearless.

But In The End, Reigns Lost

Despite all his efforts, Reigns lost the match. Rollins pinned him and took the win. It was a huge moment for Rollins, but a sad one for Reigns. The man who once ruled WWE was now without his “Wiseman”, his tag partners, or his title.
