In his signature style, The Best in the World decided to cut a promo on the recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown. During the promo, a lot of stars ended up in his crosshairs. Amongst many names, fans noticed that he notably called out two stars out of the entire roster. He first started to talk about Roman Reigns. After asking fans should he talk about someone who is not present here, he looked at the camera and said, “Roman Reigns, I acknowledge you Tribal Chief.” Following this he started, and he stated that he should not forget who the original Paul Heyman guy was. He also stated his desire to mainevent the upcoming WrestleMania 40.

But Roman Reigns was not the only star who landed in his crosshairs. He called upon Seth Rollins too. After taking shots at him, he said, “He is not even the man of his house” referring to Becky Lynch. This has opened multiple doors for CM Punk. The Second City Saint might end up facing Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman might be the one who might help him. Another possibility could be that he might take a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship title. Rollins has said on multiple occasions that he is available whenever someone wants to challenge him. Another possibility could be that Punk might defeat Rollins first before making his way to Roman Reigns. Do you think CM Punk might make his way to NXT for his future plans?
