WWE legend to turn heel after 12 years and steal Paul Heyman from Roman Reigns’ Bloodline? Potential alliance explored

The latest episode of WWE SmackDown saw a face-to-face discussion between Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Paul Heyman ahead of the Men’s WarGames Match at the Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 Premium Live Event. During their segment, Reigns told Punk that he owes him one.

In response, the Second City Saint said that The Wiseman owed him a favor, not Roman. This confused The Original Tribal Chief and he asked Heyman about the same. However, the WWE Hall of Famer asked Reigns to focus on the Men’s WarGames Match and that he would explain the matter to him later on.

In a shocking twist following Survivor Series: WarGames 2024, fans could see Heyman reveal that the favor Punk asked him in return for being the fifth member of Roman’s OG Bloodline was for Paul to leave Reigns and The Bloodline Saga forever. Heyman could also reveal that the Best in the World asked him to be his Wiseman and help him capture the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41.

In that case, fans could see Punk turn heel after 12 years. Meanwhile, after concluding his business with The Bloodline leading up to The Show of Shows, we might see Reigns take revenge on Punk for stealing his Wiseman at SummerSlam 2025. Their real-life heat would also play a vital role in a potential feud.

Did CM Punk leave WWE RAW after returning to SmackDown with Paul Heyman last week?

During last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Paul Heyman made his much-awaited return to the blue brand and revealed CM Punk as the fifth member of Roman Reigns’ OG Bloodline for the 2024 Men’s WarGames Match.

The Best in the World’s most recent match came at the Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event, where he defeated Drew McIntyre in a brutal Hell in a Cell Match. Amid Punk’s return to SmackDown, fans have been wondering whether he has left RAW. During his last appearance on the red brand before going on a hiatus, the 46-year-old star told fans that he was unsure what the future has in store for him.

It seems that Punk could begin a feud with Seth Rollins on RAW after Survivor Series: WarGames 2024, the seeds of which were seemingly planted on a recent episode of RAW, where both stars had an intense face-off. This heated feud might lead to both men having a blockbuster match at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
