CM Punk is set to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42. The OTC won the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble Match and chose to challenge The Second City Saint at The Showcase of the Immortals.
The rivalry began on a personal note, with Reigns claiming he hated Punk. However, The Best in the World took things to a whole new level on this week’s RAW by stating that he would bury the OTC next to his father.
Thanks for the submission!
Punk’s controversial comments could lead to Reigns’ family stepping in to teach him a lesson. In this listicle, we will look at four Anoa’i family members who could help Roman Reigns defeat CM Punk at WrestleMania 42.
#4. Zilla Fatu
CM Punk’s remarks on Roman Reigns’ father didn’t sit well with Zilla Fatu. The young star was irate after watching the promo segment on RAW, and threatened to slap The Second City Saint.
Zilla isn’t a part of WWE yet, but the feud between Reigns and Punk could be the perfect opportunity to introduce him to the global juggernaut. The Samoan star could debut during the match at WrestleMania 42 and help the OTC defeat The Second City Saint, becoming The Head of the Table’s new enforcer.
#3. & #2. The Usos
While The Usos appeared to be on good terms with CM Punk, his comments on RAW may sever their bond. The Bloodline prioritizes family above everything. Since Punk has decided to bring Reigns’ deceased father into the feud, Jimmy and Jey could side with their cousin against The Second City Saint.
The YEET Master could become the Right Hand Man once again, while Jimmy may also pledge his allegiance to The Tribal Chief, as the Bloodline trio could work together to defeat The Best in the World at WrestleMania 42.
#1. The Rock could help Roman Reigns
CM Punk’s comments about Roman Reigns’ father could lead to The Rock ending his hiatus. The Final Boss was last seen at Elimination Chamber 2025. The Second City Saint has taken several shots at The Great One, which could also come into play in the veteran’s return.
The Rock could come back and cost Punk the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42, reuniting with Reigns.
