CM Punk Says Paul Heyman Will Owe Him a Favor – The November 29 episode of WWE SmackDown featured a tense meeting between Roman Reigns and CM Punk, setting the stage for their reluctant alliance at WWE Survivor Series WarGames. Sitting alongside Paul Heyman, Roman was visibly impatient as he awaited Punk’s arrival. Just as Roman was about to leave, Punk finally entered, making it clear that his presence was for Heyman, not Reigns.
Roman dismissed the notion of needing Punk’s help, stating, “I damn sure don’t want to team with you at WarGames.” Punk reiterated that his intentions were personal, aimed at Heyman, who had been a victim of Solo Sikoa’s recent actions. Heyman then took control of the discussion, pointing out the existential threat Solo posed to all of them. “Divided, we all fall to Solo. United, at best, we survive,” Heyman warned, highlighting the necessity of teamwork to withstand the Bloodline’s internal turmoil.
Punk, addressing Roman directly, acknowledged their mutual disdain but framed his involvement as a means to avenge Heyman. He added, “If we survive WarGames, you want to revisit this conversation, just me and you, I’m all ears.” After some hesitation, Roman begrudgingly agreed to the alliance, stating, “One time.” Punk responded with a condition: “One favor. My friend. Our Wiseman. Will owe me a favor.”
As Punk departed, Roman questioned Heyman about the favor. Heyman, ever the strategist, deferred the conversation, saying, “Let’s get through WarGames. Then we’ll have all the time in the world to talk about it.”
The night’s events solidified the WarGames teams. Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn will face Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and Bronson Reed in the brutal WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series. The tension between Reigns and Punk adds another layer of intrigue to this high-stakes battle.
