Eric Bischoff Criticises Booking Of Roman Reigns Vs. Seth Rollins Vs. CM Punk For WWE WrestleMania 41

WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff has questioned the decision to book Roman Reigns, CM Punk and Seth Rollins against each other in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 41.

Speaking about the match - which was made official following an angle on the March 21 edition of SmackDown - on a recent episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff said:

"I think three ways, I've said it a bunch of times, my opinion, it's a cop-out. Unless there are three really good stories that need to collide in the ring in order to come to an end, it's just an attraction. It's an excuse to get big names in the ring, so you got headlines so to speak. These are your top guys, and they're all gonna be in the ring at the same time. But unless there's a reason for it, if you can't tell me why they're all in the ring and why it should be a main event, then it shouldn't be a main event".

Continuing, the 69-year-old wondered whether any of the three would benefit from the match or be more over with the fans afterwards, adding:

"It's all about the why. Why would they do that? You've got…I don't know. Maybe I should step back from it…let's ask the question, what would any three of those guys, how would they benefit from being in the ring with each other from a perception point of view? Short answer is they're not, they won't. Because they're already at such a high level.

"Is Roman Reigns gonna become more over as a result of being in this match, unless there's a wacky finish? Is Rollins, is Punk? No. They're not gonna benefit from this trifecta. If there's not one talent that's going to get over as a result of this, above the others, there's no motivation in that regard, why do it? It kind of dilutes all three. If there's no story and there's no emotion, because there's no why, there's no reason for anybody to get behind it one way or the other, then it's just an attraction match. Yeah, it'll matter a little bit. People will be happy to see it because you've got three big stars, but it won't mean much".

Bischoff recently stated that he is done with wrestling for good.
