On Monday's WWE Raw, Seth Rollins stated he needed to win at WrestleMania 41 against CM Punk and Roman Reigns to ensure the future of the business. Rollins noted that Punk left for ten years and tried to tear WWE down while he was gone and that Roman is a part-timer, while he shows up every day, works hurt, and has shown loyalty.
Roman Reigns has addressed the continuous claims that he is not a part-timer. In the lead-up to his triple threat match at WrestleMania 41 against Seth Rollins and CM Punk, he was once more accused of his part-time routine. While claiming to be devoted and consistent, Rollins criticised The Tribal Chief as a part-timer on the Raw program airing on April 14. Reigns disproved the accusations shortly after and released his rebuttal in a social media video. Self-described as a "cash cow".
In the video, Roman Reigns clears rumours about his commitment to WWE. "It's funny because a lot of people call me a part-timer. A lot of people have a lot of things to say about my schedule. I'm not a part-timer. I'm a full-time cash cow. Every second that I'm breathing, I'm working. That's how this whole thing works. Proof of concept. This business lives off me. Don't ever get it confused. Every second I'm breathing, I'm working," Reigns said.

Roman Reigns is defending his legacy
At SummerSlam 2020, Roman Reigns made his long-awaited comeback to the WWE in a brand-new persona. A changed Reigns came out of the shadows, embracing his villainous identity and family heritage. Even though he retained the title later that year and successfully defended it until WrestleMania 40. In WrestleMania 40 Roman Reigns lost WWE Undisputed Championship to Cody Rhodes but his trend has kept on going. After that, he is part of many interesting stories.
WrestleMania 41's first night will include a triple-threat battle between Reigns, Rollins, and CM Punk that already seems like one of the most intimate matchups in recent memory. Punk is the wild card who has been stirring things up since he returned, Rollins is coming in with something to prove, and Reigns is defending his legacy.
