One of WWE’s top storylines headed into WrestleMania 42 is the feud for the World Heavyweight Championship between CM Punk and Roman Reigns, seemingly set to headline the second night of the event. The pair have been trading barbs for weeks in main event segments of “WWE Raw,” with Punk mentioning he’d bury Reigns next to his late father, Sika, and Reigns calling Punk “old.”

Fans are attempting to determine who exactly is the heel of the story, and according to WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash on “Kliq This,” both are “tweeners,” or characters between heel and babyface. Nash doesn’t think there’s any way that Reigns is the true heel.

“You can’t f****** have Roman Reigns on his way to the ring, and have a graphic that says ‘Roman Reigns has headlined 11 WrestleManias.’ Like, okay. I should dislike this guy for what f****** reason?” Nash questioned. “Midway through the f****** show, he says, ‘Everyone f****** b****** about me being a part-timer,’ and he’s sitting there talking with his cousins. He says, ‘I know about me, I never saw my dad. How about you guys? You ever see your dad?’ And they’re like, ‘No.’ He said, ‘…Yeah, I’m part-time this, I’m full-time father. Full-time dad. Full-time f****** husband’ So, how is that a heel?”

The pair’s most recent segment on “Raw” ended with Reigns taking an order from his cousin, Jey Uso, to attack Punk after the men traded words to end the show. As the Usos were held back by security, Reigns hit Punk with a spear, then sent him through the commentary desk with a powerbomb.

YouTube sensation IShowSpeed appeared on “WWE Raw” this past Monday where he was cursed by Danhausen in a backstage segment, and according to a new report, he will be making more appearances in the near future.

On Wednesday, Bodyslam+ claimed that there have been backstage discussions in WWE about IShowSpeed being involved at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas next month. At this time, it’s not been confirmed whether the 21-year-old is being considered for a match or just an appearance, but he now joins the list of celebrities who will potentially be involved at “The Grandest Stage Of Them All.” In addition to American artist Jelly Roll being featured on “WWE SmackDown” as of late to presumably set up a match at WrestleMania, former NFL Quarterback Tom Brady has been rumored to appear at the two-night event after criticizing WWE star Logan Paul and poking fun at the scripted nature of professional wrestling.

IShowSpeed has competed in one WWE match thus far, having been a surprise entrant in the 2025 Royal Rumble where he was famously speared by Bron Breakker before getting eliminated. IShowSpeed was also involved at WrestleMania 40, where he suffered an RKO at the hands of Randy Orton while dressed as a Prime Energy Mascot. Last October, the YouTube star was present at the WWE Performance Center to record an episode of “Speed Goes Pro” with Orton, which is a series where Speed tries to keep up with some of the best athletes in the world in their respective sports.

Across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch, IShowSpeed has amassed 149 million followers over the past 10 years. 

After holding Maximum Carnage in January and Grand Slam: Australia in February, AEW hasn’t gone back to the well when it comes to holding special episodes of “AEW Dynamite” and “Collision” in March. But it won’t be much longer before AEW brings back some themed shows, with three set to take place in the weeks following AEW Dynasty.

In a press release, Warner Brothers Discovery revealed AEW will be presenting two Spring BreakThru episodes of “Dynamite” and “Collision,” as well as Playoff Palooza for “Collision” next month. While WBD’s scheduling has Spring BreakThru taking place on Thursday and Friday and Playoff Palooza taking place on a Saturday, outside of AEW’s normal TV slots, it’s believed that is a scheduling error, and that the episodes will take place on Wednesday April 15, Thursday April 16, and Saturday April 25 respectively.

This will be the second time AEW has run Spring BreakThru themed shows, having done so last year on April 16 and April 17; like last year, Spring BreakThru will take place just days before WrestleMania. Many AEW fans have considered the “Dynamite” edition of Spring BreakThru 2025 to be among the best events in AEW history, with the show featuring Mercedes Mone vs. Athena, Will Ospreay vs. Konosuke Takeshita, and The Opps defeating The Death Riders to win the AEW World Trios Championships.

It will also be the second go around for Playoff Palooza, which aired on April 26, 2025 and featured “Timeless” Toni Storm defeating Queen Aminata in an AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator match. Unlike last year, when it aired following the first round of the NBA Playoffs, Playoff Palooza’s lead-in will be the first round of the NHL’s Stanley Cup Playoffs.
