During a recent interview with AJ Styles for ESPN, former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen praised the work of Vince McMahon during his time in WWE. He said,
“I was just going back and forth on heels, and I was just wondering, like a guy, that side of the apron what they think. I’ll tell you another great heel, though, was Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon, man, you could hate that guy. He came out and did this walk and talked about he had money. Like, that is just going to annoy people.”
Saturday night’s WWE WrestleMania 41 (Night One) pay-per-view event ended with a jaw-dropping twist as Paul Heyman shockingly turned on both CM Punk and Roman Reigns, aligning himself with Seth Rollins — who closed out the night as the victorious one.
Following the event, Cathy Kelley delivered a post-show update on Roman Reigns. She shared that “now is not the time” for an interview, revealing that Reigns exited the gorilla position alone.
During Saturday night’s WrestleMania 41 (Night One) pay-per-view event, Paul Heyman shocked the world by betraying both CM Punk and Roman Reigns, siding with Seth Rollins and helping The Visionary emerge victorious in the Triple Threat main event.
Punk was interviewed by Jackie Redmond following the match. Despite acknowledging it might not be a good time for a comment, Redmond asked Punk about the situation, referring to Heyman as “lifelong friends and allies.”
Punk stared intensely, contemplated the question, and then walked away without responding.
