Michael Hayes and Bobby Roode served as producers for both main event matches at WrestleMania 42, according to a report from BodySlam+. The veteran agents were responsible for orchestrating the show’s biggest matches across both nights.
Hayes and Roode produced the Saturday night main event between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. The duo then returned to produce Sunday’s main event featuring Roman Reigns versus CM Punk, with Paul Heyman also listed as a producer for that match.
Roman Reigns Captures World Heavyweight Championship
Reigns defeated Punk in Sunday’s main event to capture the World Heavyweight Championship. The match concluded when Punk failed to execute the GTS and collapsed, allowing Reigns to hit back-to-back Spears for the victory.
The bout was built around legitimate animosity between the two competitors, with both wrestlers refusing to back down throughout the contest. Reigns had claimed Punk was “old” heading into the match, a statement that proved accurate when Punk’s body gave out at the crucial moment.
Hayes has been a longtime producer for WWE’s biggest matches, while Roode transitioned to a backstage role after his in-ring career. Heyman’s involvement in producing the Reigns match marks a continuation of his behind-the-scenes work with the former Tribal Chief.
