Roman Reigns’ recent jab at Seth Rollins on Twitter/X didn’t go unnoticed, prompting a response from the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, who’s gearing up for his first WrestleMania headline slot.

In his tweet, Reigns cleverly referenced the movie “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” aiming a barb at Rollins.
However, Rollins swiftly reminded Reigns of their WrestleMania 31 encounter, where Rollins’ historic cash-in altered the course of the main event.
“Roman Reigns greatest #wrestlemania moment,”
quipped Rollins in response, prompting wrestling enthusiasts to revisit the memorable WrestleMania 31 showdown.
WrestleMania 31 indeed marked a pivotal moment for Reigns, setting the stage for his subsequent championship triumphs. Following Rollins’ daring cash-in, Reigns claimed the WWE Championship the following year at WrestleMania 32, cementing his place as a main event player on the grandest stage.
Reflecting on their shared history, Reigns and Rollins trace back to their days as Shield stablemates, alongside Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley).
The trio, renowned as The Shield, left an indelible mark on WWE, with Reigns embodying the powerhouse while Rollins earned the moniker of the group’s “Architect.”
Their paths have intersected numerous times since their Shield days, including a showdown at the 2022 Royal Rumble PLE, where Rollins challenged Reigns for the Universal Title to no avail.
As WrestleMania XL approaches, the banter between Reigns and Rollins adds an intriguing layer to their storied rivalry, offering fans a tantalizing preview of what’s to come on the grandest stage of them all.
