In the buildup to WrestleMania XL, Seth Rollins, the current World Heavyweight Champion in WWE, is gearing up to defend his title against Drew McIntyre. The much-anticipated match is expected to be a highlight of the event, possibly taking place on Night Two. On the first night, Rollins is set to join forces with Cody Rhodes to take on the formidable duo of Roman Reigns and The Rock from The Bloodline.
During a recent WWE Live Event in Lafayette, Louisiana, Rollins and Rhodes showcased their partnership by defeating Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso in the main event. Following the victory, Rollins took the opportunity to address the live audience about the significance of the upcoming WrestleMania main event. Expressing his excitement, Rollins mentioned his previous involvement in WrestleMania 31 and how this year’s event holds a special place for him as his first true WrestleMania main event.

Looking back at WrestleMania 31, Rollins faced Randy Orton in a singles match, which he lost. However, he made a memorable impact by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract during the main event between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, earning himself the WWE Championship. This momentous occasion has since been dubbed the “Heist of the Century,” solidifying Rollins’ place in WWE history.
Originally, WrestleMania XL was rumored to feature a main event showdown between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, setting the stage for a significant rivalry. Despite their animosity, circumstances changed when Punk got injured during the Men’s Royal Rumble Match, leading to Rollins teaming up with Cody Rhodes to face The Bloodline. Meanwhile, Punk found a new adversary in Drew McIntyre, hinting at future confrontations in the WWE ring.
