The intense Seth Rollins Wrestlepalooza rivalry has escalated with new developments involving key figures Becky Lynch and AJ Lee ahead of the upcoming event. Recently, at the Clash in Paris, The Man joined The Vision to help Seth Rollins defend the World Heavyweight Championship in a Fatal Four-Way Match, setting the stage for a high-stakes encounter.
To counterbalance Becky Lynch’s involvement, CM Punk has reunited with his wife AJ Lee, who returned to WWE after a long absence. Both couples are scheduled to face off in a Mixed Tag Team Match at Wrestlepalooza. However, speculation is rife that The Architect might strengthen The Vision by adding another impactful member before Saturday’s event.
Possible New Alliances Could Shift the Balance of Power
Bronson Reed’s alliance with Seth Rollins demonstrated Rollins’ willingness to team up even with previous challengers who pushed him to his limits. Now, Logan Paul emerges as the candidate most likely to rejoin forces with The Visionary, given his past rivalry with Rollins. Their intense feud peaked two years ago during a one-on-one match at WrestleMania 39, where Rollins claimed victory but Paul established himself as a tough adversary.
Unlike other former AEW wrestlers, Paul’s potential return to WWE could be significant, not only due to his history with Rollins but also because of his unresolved competition with CM Punk. In 2025, Paul eliminated Punk from the Men’s Royal Rumble, while Punk later returned the favor by ousting Paul from the Men’s Elimination Chamber. Their tied record highlights the fierce competition and sets the stage for a critical showdown.
Paul has been off television since his loss to John Cena at the Clash in Paris, but Wrestlepalooza might provide him an opportunity to impact the match outcome, possibly by costing CM Punk his contest if he officially joins The Vision. This scenario would present a major disadvantage for Punk, although this remains speculative at this point.
Pre-Match Tensions Rise on Monday Night RAW
In the buildup to the tag team match, the two real-life couples faced off during the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, where tensions flared. The antagonists directed provocative comments at AJ Lee, leading to a notable moment when she slapped Seth Rollins. Despite the altercation, Rollins and Becky Lynch managed to outwit their opponents and maintain the upper hand.
On ESPN’s Get Up, Rollins reflected on the incident, acknowledging AJ Lee’s unexpected strength.
“She [AJ Lee] slaps me right in the face. She’s got a hell of a right hand on her, I’m not gonna lie,” said The Visionary.
The physical and verbal confrontations have increased anticipation for how the Triple H-led creative team will script the highly anticipated mixed tag match at Wrestlepalooza, where personal rivalries and alliances are poised to unfold dramatically.
The Stakes at Wrestlepalooza and What Lies Ahead
The upcoming clash at Wrestlepalooza is more than just a match; it is a culmination of intertwined rivalries and past grievances involving Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and their respective partners. With suggestions that Logan Paul may re-emerge to strengthen The Vision, the dynamics of the bout could be significantly altered, potentially affecting the outcome and momentum for all involved.
This event will test loyalties and strategies, with potential implications for future storylines. How these power couples navigate the event could influence WWE’s creative direction and the individual careers of key wrestlers like Rollins, Punk, AJ Lee, and Paul beyond Wrestlepalooza.
