It was two weeks ago when World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk went low by saying he will bury Roman Reigns next to his dead father Sika after he wins their match at WrestleMania 42. This capped off a promo where Punk emphasized that the Tribal Chief is all by himself and no longer has a tribe to lead, and more importantly, no longer has any family henchmen around to help him win matches and championships in WWE. Reigns is a part-timer, so he responded by…not showing up on Raw last week. Instead, it was Jimmy and Jey Uso who got in Punk’s face and demanded an apology for disrespecting their family like that. Punk is a dick who turned it into a whole thing about how Roman Reigns never had to apologize for gaslighting The Usos and treating them like shit for years. Jey and Jimmy Uso insisted this had nothing to do with Roman, and they knocked CM on his ass with a punch.

Roman is back on Raw tonight, where he will presumably address any and all of these events. If Punk happens to also be in the building to confront Reigns for another promo battle, the champ will surely bring up how Roman once again needs his family to do his fighting for him, because he knows he can’t beat Punk and win the title by himself at WrestleMania. There are two directions this story could take, and thanks to the shiny new WWE 2K26 game, you can choose the fate of AJ Lee and Bayley. Also on WWE Raw, a long-rumoured WWE WrestleMania 42 contest takes place. The Original El Grande Americano challenges El Grande Americano in a battle for identity theft. Not content with stealing his identity, El Grande Americano stole the OG’s WWE Intercontinental Championship match last week. This happened moments after Danhausen cursed the Original.

According to the video game, Bayley edges the contest with an 89 rating to Lee’s 87. Defeat Lee with Bayley, and she gets to walk into WWE WrestleMania 42 as a champion. A nice little redemption for Bayley after she was taken out of a Tag Team Championship match in Las Vegas last year. Former IC Champ, Becky Lynch, was responsible for that. Bayley winning the gold would stop Lynch from challenging Lee at ‘Mania. That would be extra sweet for Bayley.  But if the plucky underdog (by two points) Lee can see off Bayley, she gets a championship match at the “Showcase of the Immortals”. But that would make Lynch the big winner as she’d surely get a rematch with Lee in Las Vegas. And if the WWE 2K26 ratings are anything to go by, Lynch, with 94, should make light work of Lee.
