Roman Reigns recently shared a story on Instagram about his tense confrontation with CM Punk on the latest episode of WWE SmackDown. The segment began with Reigns agreeing to have Punk on his team at Survivor Series: WarGames, but he made it clear that he doesn’t like Punk one bit. Punk, however, seemed to be angling for a favor from Heyman, Reigns’ manager, claiming that he owes him a debt. After Punk left, Reigns asked Heyman about the favor, but The Wiseman brushed it off, suggesting they focus on the impending WarGames match instead.

Reigns’ Instagram story delved into the complexities of the situation, providing insight into the rift between the two wrestlers. According to Reigns, he and Punk have a long and storied history, dating back to their rivalry over a decade ago. Back then, Reigns was still a member of The Shield, and Punk was part of the rising star that he is today. Despite their differences, Punk’s loyalty to Heyman, who was a key figure in his WWE career, is a point of contention between the two.

Reigns’ story highlights the tension that exists between him and Punk, which is palpable even in a meeting setting. The dynamic between the two is complicated, with Punk seemingly trying to exploit Heyman’s past obligations for his own gain. Meanwhile, Reigns is determined to keep his focus on the upcoming WarGames match and isn’t willing to let Punk’s machinations derail his plans.

The situation between Reigns and Punk is layered with historical significance, with their past rivalry serving as a backdrop for their current conflict. Heyman’s loyalty to both men adds an extra layer of complexity, making it difficult to predict what will happen when Survivor Series: WarGames finally takes place. Will Punk be able to extract a favor from Heyman, or will Reigns manage to outmaneuver him? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the tension between these two wrestling giants will continue to simmer until the day of reckoning arrives.

It’s clear that Reigns is still grappling with his feelings about Punk, and the two men’s complicated history only adds fuel to the fire. Their path to Survivor Series: WarGames will likely be filled with twists and turns, as both men try to outwit and outmaneuver each other. As fans, we can only sit back and enjoy the ride, knowing that the drama between Reigns and Punk is sure to be one for the ages.
