CM Punk Asserts “OG Paul Heyman Guy” Status, Calls Out Roman Reigns on WWE SmackDown in His Quest to Main Event WrestleMania

The biggest question on everyone’s mind is where will CM Punk go after returning. Since his return to WWE, Punk has been a free agent and still hasn’t signed with either Raw or SmackDown.

During his appearance on the blue brand, he decided to openly take shots at Roman Reigns amidst his absence at SmackDown.

CM Punk takes shots at Roman Reigns

CM Punk was seen doing a promo at this week’s SmackDown. During the promo, he referred to many stars such as Cody Rhodes. But he decided to fixate himself on Roman Reigns. After highlighting the fact that Reigns is not much seen on television, he decided to remind The Tribal Chief of one crucial fact. He said, “Don’t forget who the OG Paul Heyman guy is.”  Punk then added before Heyman was Reigns’ Wiseman, he served the “Second City Saint” as an advisor.

Heyman was pivotal in Punk keeping his championship reign until 2012-2013 when it was broken by The Rock. However, things changed after Heyman turned on Punk. The duo’s interaction and relation on screen was considered one of the most entertaining segments during that time.

While both Reigns and Heyman were called out by Punk on live television, could this mean fans would get to see both of them working together again?

Will CM Punk and Paul Heyman work together again?

Back in 2013, Heyman was an advocate for two WWE stars. Fans saw him being overwhelmed with work as he worked with both CM Punk and Brock Lesnar. Even though it was hectic for him, chances are fans could see the hustling Heyman once again. Fans could witness Heyman pulling a double shift. If Punk decides to sign with Raw, chances are fans might get to see Heyman at Raw as well. However, the allegiance will be formed that might benefit the Bloodline more. On the same episode of SmackDown, Punk expressed his desire to mainevent the upcoming  WrestleMania 40.

However, he is not alone in that race, Cody Rhodes still has a story to finish and is the first confirmed star for the men’s Royal Rumble match. With Punk also expressing his desire to mainevent WrestleMania, chances are things will go down between The American Nightmare and The Best in the World. Heyman might think of Rhodes as a bigger threat keeping in mind his current run. Therefore, he might decide to partner up with Punk so that they could take down Rhodes to keep one less foe for Reigns. And as for Roman Reigns, it might be time for Heyman to change his allegiance, which might happen ahead of WrestleMania 40. What do you think will be the implications of Punk’s actions on SmackDown this week?
