Roman Reigns, the 2026 WWE Men’s Royal Rumble winner, has chosen to face CM Punk at WrestleMania 42, announcing this decision on the post-Royal Rumble edition of Monday Night RAW. The match’s certainty is now uncertain because Punk will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor in a rematch at the Elimination Chamber 2026 Premium Live Event, creating a possible change in Reigns’s WrestleMania opponent.

If CM Punk loses the title to Finn Balor, Roman Reigns will then face Balor at WrestleMania 42 instead of Punk. WWE recently shared videos of superstars opening Topps trading cards, and intriguingly, the first card Balor pulled from his packet was Roman Reigns. Reacting humorously, the inaugural Universal Champion referred to Reigns as his “WrestleMania opponent,” playfully hinting at the possible title change and upcoming main event.

Balor has also hinted he intends to leave Chicago as the new World Heavyweight Champion, implying that he expects to defeat Punk in the Elimination Chamber match. This development means Fans will watch closely to see if Balor can claim the title and secure his spot at WrestleMania 42 as “The Prince.”

Liv Morgan to Announce Her WrestleMania 42 Opponent

Alongside the unfolding drama of the world heavyweight title scene, a prominent member of The Judgment Day is set to make a major decision regarding WrestleMania tonight. Liv Morgan, who won the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble Match, will reveal who she will challenge at WrestleMania 42, with Jade Cargill and Stephanie Vaquer being the top candidates.

This announcement adds another layer of anticipation as WWE moves closer to the Elimination Chamber event. Triple H and the WWE creative team appear to be integrating The Judgment Day heavily into the Road to WrestleMania 42, with Liv Morgan’s choice highlighting the prominence of this faction in upcoming storylines.

With Roman Reigns’s opponent at WrestleMania potentially changing based on the Elimination Chamber results and Liv Morgan’s big announcement set to impact the women’s division, WWE fans have significant developments to follow in the weeks ahead.
