As pointed out by WrestleOps on X, The OTC is scheduled to appear on the next eight episodes of WWE RAW after capturing the title at WrestleMania 42.

Reigns won the Men’s Royal Rumble match earlier this year at the PLE in Saudi Arabia to earn his title match against CM Punk at WrestleMania 42. The Head of the Table is scheduled to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu at Backlash 2026 next weekend in Florida.

WWE legend suggests CM Punk should have defeated Roman Reigns at WrestleMania

Wrestling icon Jim Cornette recently shared why he would have liked to see CM Punk defeat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

Speaking on his Jim Cornette’s Drive Thru podcast, the veteran stated that Punk made the World Heavyweight Championship relevant, and he should have dropped the title to a younger star.

“Punk, especially in this build, the World Heavyweight title was more important to WrestleMania than the WWE title. He made it valid. I think, if anything, he should have been the one to put it on a younger guy. I don’t know if it’s Oba Femi this quick or whatever, if it’s the right dynamic anyway to have that match. It could have been a Bron Breaker. Even if Roman does a job for somebody, I’m not saying he wouldn’t try, I think Punk would be more motivated and more knowledgeable about how to have a match to get a young guy over than Roman Reigns would be right at this very moment,” said Cornette.

It will be interesting to see if Reigns can get the better of Jacob Fatu at WWE Backlash 2026 next weekend to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
