Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins & CM Punk Triple Threat Made Official For WWE WrestleMania 41

It was a foregone conclusion following the events of Friday night's SmackDown in Bologna, Italy, but now it's official.
WWE Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque took to social media after the show had gone off the air and announced that it will be Roman Reigns taking on Seth Rollins and CM Punk in an All-star Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 41 next month in Las Vegas.
All three of these men have dominated our industry…

They have had historic reigns as WWE Champion…
…and they all cannot wait to beat the other on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

It took dozens of security personnel to pull all three men off of one another as their promo segment in Italy quickly evolved to violence Friday night. Punk took a cheap shot at Reigns when his back was turned and the fight was on.
When each man taunted the other by claiming to be the best and then pointing at the WrestleMania sign, it was clear the bout would be officially booked sooner rather than later.
This monumental match-up will mark Punk's first on 'The Grandest Stage of Them All' in 12 years. He last competed at WrestleMania XXIX where he came up short in his bid to end The Undertaker's undefeated streak. His match this year has the chance to be his first ever WrestleMania main event.
We’ve seen an even more determined and vicious @FightOwensFight…
