Paul Heyman Shocks the WWE World Allying with Seth Rollins at the End of WrestleMania 41

In what capped off an electric Night 1 of WWE WrestleMania 41, Seth Rollins defeated both Roman Reigns and CM Punk in a shocker of an ending. The Architect prevailed in the contest when Paul Heyman turned his back on both of his former charges by handing Rollins a steel chair. After laying out both of his opponents, Seth finished them off and thus aligned himself with Heyman.

All along, the backdrop to this epic encounter was who Heyman would show allegiance to. After years of being the Wise Man to Reigns’ Tribal Chief, Heyman was backed into a corner (literally) when he was forced to be the adviser for Punk in the bout. Therefore, the audience was on pins and needles as to how his decision might determine the outcome of this battle.

Meanwhile, Rollins also implored the manager to consider the fact that Heyman also owed him a ‘favor’ after sparing him from a beating. In the meantime, Punk leaned on his two-decade-long relationship with the former ECW owner, leaving Paul at a crossroads in Sin City.

An Unholy Alliance Forms Between Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman

A Great Match Finishes With Paul Heyman Surprising Everyone

The climax of this match leaves the WWE Universe with a lot more questions than answers. Was this the plan all along? What will Heyman and Rollins say on Monday night during RAW on Netflix? Where will the duo go from here? And also, will this force an alliance between rivals Punk and Reigns?

Heyman has made a name for siding with a wrestler and then guiding them to the top. So, the manager may have sold out his best friend and his Tribal Chief because he sees Rollins as the best horse to cash in on. The former Paul E. Dangerously has always attached himself to winners, and he definitely made sure to ensure victory for his new protege, shocking the entire wrestling world with an explosive ending to Night 1 of WrestleMania 41.
