Sami Zayn Believes CM Punk Vs. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns Vs. Solo Sikoa Were Originally Planned For WWE WrestleMania 41

Monday Night RAW’s upcoming debut on Netflix from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California on January 6 sees some blockbuster matches taking place as Seth Rollins will battle CM Punk in a long-awaited grudge match, and Roman Reigns will take on Solo Sikoa for the first time ever in singles action to fight for the ula fala, and for the right to be called ‘Tribal Chief’. 

When looking ahead to the WrestleMania 41 card, fans assumed that these two matches had a good chance of being on the card. Current WWE star Sami Zayn pulled back the curtain and revealed in an interview on the Battleground podcast that both bouts were in fact in the conversation for WrestleMania 41. 

“Well, just to give you a little bit of insight, I suppose, to the heaviness of just the two matches that you listed... I will tell you that I heard rumblings about both of those matches being WrestleMania matches. So the fact that they're on the Netflix premiere tells you what a big deal this is. WWE, say what you all about them, they go all out when it's time to go all out, and they're going all out for this Netflix thing. I don't know how it's going to change the game, but it's definitely going to be a game-changer."

Also set for RAW’s premiere on Netflix is a Last Woman Standing Women’s World Title match between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. When it comes to the WrestleMania 41 card, a match between Cody Rhodes and John Cena has reportedly been discussed.
