The latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown featured a heated face-off between CM Punk and Roman Reigns, with both men expressing their mutual dislike for each other. The main point of contention was when Reigns told Punk that he owed him one, to which Punk responded that it was actually Paul Heyman who owed him, not Reigns. This statement has led fans to speculate about the potential deals that Heyman could make with Punk in return for his involvement in the OG Bloodline’s WarGames match.
One possible favor Heyman could do for Punk is to help him win the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk had previously expressed his uncertainty about the future, but now that his feud with Drew McIntyre seems to be over, he may be gearing up to target Gunther and his title. Heyman’s expertise and influence could prove invaluable in Punk’s pursuit of the championship.
Another possibility is that Heyman becomes Punk’s Wiseman on Monday Night RAW, leaving the Bloodline saga behind. Punk has dropped several hints throughout his recent appearance on SmackDown, including referring to Heyman as “Our Wiseman” during his face-off with Reigns. This move could allow Punk to move on from his feud with Reigns and focus on new challenges.
A third option is that Heyman secures a spot for Punk in the main event of WrestleMania 41. Punk has expressed a desire to compete in the main event of WrestleMania, which he came close to achieving last year before an injury sidelined him. By helping Reigns at WarGames, Punk may be able to earn a main event spot at WrestleMania, with Heyman potentially crafting an easy path to the championship.
Finally, Punk could have struck a deal with Heyman to help him win the Undisputed WWE Championship. During their first-ever face-off on SmackDown, Punk did not mention the Undisputed WWE Championship, instead focusing on Roman Reigns’ need for his Ula Fala. However, in favor of being the fifth member of the OG Bloodline for the WarGames bout, Punk may have made a deal with Heyman to help him win the championship at WrestleMania.
Ultimately, Punk’s plans remain unclear, but these possibilities suggest that he may have made a deal with Heyman to repay him for his involvement in WarGames. As the story continues to unfold, fans will be eager to see what Punk has in store for the WWE Universe.
