The recent surprise return of Paul Heyman to WWE programming has sparked a lot of excitement among fans, and his reappearance was made even more significant by the fact that he brought CM Punk along with him. The duo’s meeting with Roman Reigns on this week’s SmackDown left many questions unanswered, but one thing is certain – their involvement in the upcoming Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 Premium Live Event is going to be a huge deal. In fact, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray took to social media to comment on the segment, hinting that there’s more to come.
In the segment, Punk revealed that he had been brought in by Heyman, with whom he has a long-standing relationship, to join forces with Reigns and The Bloodline. He emphasized that the only reason he’s teaming up with the OG Bloodline at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 is because of Heyman’s influence, which is something that neither he nor Reigns are happy about. Punk’s assertion that Heyman would owe him a favor also added a layer of intrigue to the situation.
Reigns, on the other hand, is trying to figure out what this favor is, but Punk is refusing to spill the beans, citing that he’ll reveal the details after Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. The tension between Punk and Reigns was palpable, and it’s clear that their partnership is more like a marriage of convenience rather than a genuine alliance. Heyman’s role in bringing these two superstars together is likely to have a significant impact on their careers, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how this all plays out.
Bully Ray’s tweet, which featured a photo of Reigns, Heyman, and Punk sitting together, added fuel to the speculation, with his use of the term “The Master Manipulator” referring to Heyman’s reputation for being a master strategist. His comment that Heyman is “Masterfully Manipulating” is a hint that there’s more to this story than meets the eye, and fans are already speculating about what lies ahead.
In the context of the WWE, Heyman’s return is significant, given his past relationships with superstars like Punk and Brock Lesnar. His bringing Punk into the fold is a move that’s likely to shake things up, and his influence on Reigns and The Bloodline could have far-reaching consequences. The question on everyone’s mind is – what’s Heyman’s endgame, and how will this impact the terrain of the WWE going forward?
