Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns have a tumultuous history, and it seems like Heyman’s association with CM Punk may be the final blow to their working relationship. As the Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 approaches, it’s possible that Heyman may leave Reigns to manage Punk full-time. There are three compelling reasons why Heyman should make the switch.

Firstly, Heyman may feel betrayed by Roman Reigns’ silence during his darkest days. When Reigns returned to WWE, it was too late for Heyman, who was already being marginalized by Solo Sikoa. The Wiseman’s refusal to acknowledge Sikoa as the new Tribal Chief led to a brutal 4-on-1 assault, leaving him wounded and resentful. With Reigns’ absence during those critical moments, Heyman may harbor ill feelings towards the Original Tribal Chief, making it difficult for their working relationship to continue.

Secondly, CM Punk has consistently stood up for Paul Heyman when he needed it most. When Heyman was being brutalized by The Bloodline, Punk agreed to help him, even despite his personal differences with The Wiseman. This display of loyalty and camaraderie has deepened the bond between the two stars, transcending a strictly professional relationship. As a result, Heyman may feel compelled to reciprocate Punk’s loyalty and dedicate himself full-time to the Best in the World.

Lastly, Paul Heyman’s expertise could be the key to CM Punk’s main event aspirations. Punk has repeatedly expressed his desire to main-event WrestleMania, and with Heyman’s guidance, he may finally achieve that goal. Heyman has a proven track record of helping Roman Reigns rise to the top of the mountain, and his expertise could be just what Punk needs to get over the finish line. With Heyman by his side, Punk may finally have the support and guidance he needs to realize his dreams.
