WWE Considering Megastar Opponent for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 41
Roman Reigns and CM Punk are arguably two of the most popular WWE superstars right now. And the WWE is always looking for the biggest money match possible at the Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, a showdown between Roman Reigns and CM Punk has reportedly been discussed as a WWE WrestleMania 41.
There was much speculation that Reigns would finally have his mega match against his cousin, The Rock. Meanwhile, there were expectations for Punk to face his nemesis Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. However, those plans may have changed after Survivor Series: WarGames. According to WrestleVotes, the WWE reportedly saw the numbers that Punk and Reigns generated on social media and may now consider pitting the two megastars against each other at The Show of Shows.
Punk and Reigns haven’t crossed paths since the Chicago native made his epic return at last year’s Survivor Series. Though Punk has referenced Reigns at times in some of his promos, they never saw each other face to face. That is until the WWE finally planted the seeds in the lead-up to this year’s WarGames.
Reigns and the OG Bloodline could not find a fifth member for their team in their WarGames match against Solo Sikoa and his new Bloodline. In a shocking twist, The Best In The World joined the group – but he didn’t do it for free. He helped Reigns in exchange for a bribe, a favor from his incredibly close friend and Roman’s Wiseman, Paul Heyman. If ever this match comes to fruition, it’s very likely that the favor would be a key part of the storyline.
Audi’s busy adding to its roster of e-tron electric vehicles, and the latest to debut is the 2025 A6 e-tron, a sleek sedan with all of the brand’s cutting-edge technology. Audi expects EPA range to be as much as 390 miles per charge. The A6 e-tron is powered by a rear-mounted electric motor with 375 horsepower, while the A6 e-tron Quattro adds a second motor for all-wheel drive and bumps power to 456 ponies. If you want more, you’ll have to spring for the high-performance S6 e-tron, whose dual-motor powertrain produces a combined 543 hp. Unlike the gasoline-powered A6 sedan, the A6 e-tron hides a hatchback in its sloped rear roofline (making it a Sportback in Audi-ese), under which is a large cargo area similar to that of the current A7. Inside, there’s a full roster of infotainment features, plenty of standard amenities, and enough interior room for four adults to travel comfortably for long distances.
The A6 e-tron comes with a 375-hp electric motor driving the rear wheels, but the A6 e-tron Quattro comes with a dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup with 456 horsepower. The performance-oriented S6 e-tron boasts 543 horsepower, but we review that model separately. An air spring suspension system is optional and provides adaptive dampers with unique driving modes; it can also lower the A6 e-tron’s ride height for improved aerodynamic efficiency. When we drove the A6 e-tron, we found its driving dynamics to be ho-hum but appreciated its adjustable levels of regenerative braking capability.
According to Audi, the A6 e-tron can reach 62 mph in 5.2 seconds and the Quattro version can do it in 4.3. When we have the opportunity to test an A6 e-tron, we’ll update that number with real-world data.
A 94.4-kWh battery pack is expected to deliver an EPA range of 370 miles in the rear-wheel-drive A6 e-tron, with an available Ultra package stretching that to 390 miles. The all-wheel-drive version is estimated to bring an EPA range of 333 miles, or 375 with the Ultra package. (Although we’re still awaiting official EPA numbers.) DC fast-charging capability is standard, and Audi claims a max charging rate of 270 kilowatts. That means the A6 e-tron should be able to charge its battery from 10 percent to 80 percent of capacity in just 21 minutes.
