Their strength invites challenge, and such dominance, when challenged, can create dispute and hence battles. The same has been the issue with these three superstars of WWE. CM Punk&rsquo;s entry to WWE brought a challenge for both Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. This started a confrontation that grew into a war over time.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BIG LEFT J TO THE FACE OF SETH ROLLINS<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WrestleMania?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#WrestleMania<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gfVXe4e9vV\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/gfVXe4e9vV<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PatMcAfeeShow\/status\/1913782306575471096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 20, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>This war entered the decisive phase when CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns met at the Main Event of WrestleMania Day 1.
