Wrestling god back.
 
A major WrestleMania match has been discussed, and is the likely direction for WrestleMania.

Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp heard via WWE sources that CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns at next year’s WrestleMania has been heavily discussed. We’d heard a number of weeks ago that this wasn’t particularly the plan, but had been adjusted of late. We’re told that CM Punk had also hoped for the match.

Roman Reigns and CM Punk have had one televised singles match, nearly 11 years ago. The show took place on the WWE Old School Raw edition in January 2014. Roman Reigns emerged victorious.

A number of months later, CM Punk did a post-WWE interview where he mentioned WWE telling him to “make Roman look strong,” which was a talking point that stuck around for quite some time. Fightful Select was told last year ahead of CM Punk’s return that Roman Reigns was a talent that was not keen on him returning.

We're told that this is a drastically different direction than what had been planned for both talent even a couple of months ago, none of which involved the Rock. It was noted to us that if The Rock informs WWE of involvement in WrestleMania, much of the card could change, including this.

Why? With all that talent, 3 hours is needed

I'm a just say this. I know that HHH is the head of creative in WWE but Smackdown for a large majority of 2024 has looked like shit this year and on some weeks unwatchable. Even under the current 2 hr format it's been some weeks where I have only watched about the first 30 - 45 mins of SD before I either turn the channel to a NBA game or turn the TV off completely.

I'm not sitting through 3 hrs of Smackdown on a Friday night when some weeks we may get very little wrestling and a bunch of pointless segments that may lead up to nothing.

Sooooo how about we wait until January 2025 to see how it goes lol

This was the plan all along. Too much talent for it to be only 2 hours? Nah
