Roman Reigns Could Be Betrayed During His Absence From WWE

Paul Heyman’s role in The Bloodline saga took an interesting turn last year when he introduced CM Punk as the final member of The OG Bloodline for the 2024 Men’s WarGames match.

Punk began 2025 by defeating Solo Sikoa on January 6 to become the Undisputed Tribal Chief.

At the 2025 Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns failed to win the men’s match and suffered a vicious attack from Seth Rollins, who delivered his signature stomp twice to Reigns’ head following their eliminations by CM Punk. WWE announced on RAW that Reigns would be sidelined indefinitely due to the assault.

Current storyline developments suggest this situation could lead to an intriguing shift in alliances. The existing relationship between Heyman and Punk could become a focal point as WrestleMania 41 approaches, particularly given Punk’s prominent position following his victory over Sikoa and Reigns’ absence from programming.
