The main event of WrestleMania Saturday is upon us, with CM Punk, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns set to do battle.

CM Punk received a special video package in honor of his first WrestleMania main event, including callbacks to his early WWE days and featuring his old theme “This Fire Burns” by Killswitch Engage.

The match starts with Reigns getting the upper hand momentarily, before Punk and Rollins split off into the crowd and do battle in the crowd. Rollins attacks Punk with a trash can due to the no-disqualification rules, but Punk counters with a suplex onto the can.

When Punk and Rollins make their way back to the barricade, Reigns flies in to take both men down before bringing the action back into the ring.

Reigns dominates his competitors for a short time before Punk counters a Superman punch with a neckbreaker. Punk gains the advantage and gets some offense in until Rollins catches him on the top rope. Reigns pulls Rollins on to his shoulders, and he and Punk work together momentarily for a doomsday device!

Reigns and Punk duke it out until Punk catches Reigns in an Anaconda Vice. Rollins gets back into the action with a frog splash and a near fall.

Reigns tries to hit a spear on Rollins, but it gets reversed into a pedigree, followed by a stomp. Rollins picks up another near fall as the match continues.

Reigns gets out of the way of a 450 splash by Rollins, who gets caught in position for a GTS by Punk. Punk releases the move to avoid a spear by Reigns, who hits Rollins with the move. Punk hits a GTS on Reigns and records a near fall.

Rollins knocks Punk on the outside, suggesting he and Reigns work together to take the third man out and settle their rivalry once and for all. Reigns decides against the alliance, slapping Rollins before powerbombing him and Punk through different announce tables! Reigns carries Rollins into the ring and hits another spear for a near fall.

The three swap submission holds as they try to get the advantage, until Rollins reverses Reigns’ guillotine choke into a suplex. Punk hits another GTS on Rollins for a near fall.

The three trade their finishing moves in a crazy sequence, leaving all competitors down and out.

Paul Heyman, who has been at the epicenter of this rivalry, grabs a steel chair from ringside and pushes it over to Punk to the dismay of Reigns. Just as Punk is ready to strike, Heyman hits a low blow and hand the chair to Reigns, who proceeds to unload on Punk with chair shots to the back!

Reigns prepares to exact revenge on Rollins, but Heyman low blows Reigns! He hands the chair to Rollins, who delivers another chair shot to Reigns’s back. Another stomp, and Rollins picks up a victory and changes the landscape of WWE.

WrestleMania Saturday ends in a shocker, and the stage is set to see how it all unfolds tomorrow.
