WWE SmackDown fans had their jaws on the floor when Paul Heyman returned and brought with him CM Punk but Punk was in the mood for trolling.
As Roman Reigns and The OG Bloodline stood across from Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline 2.0, Paul Heyman said his iconic line. The Wiseman was back, and with him was the fifth man in Reigns’ Bloodline for the WWE Survivor Series: WarGames match.
After taking out The Bloodline 2.0, CM Punk was in the mood to troll Reigns, which he did in the ring and on social media.
CM Punk doesn’t acknowledge Roman Reigns anymore
After the show went off the air, Punk stayed in the ring with The OG Bloodline as they did their signature ‘We the ones’ gesture. However, Punk had other plans as he did his ‘Go to sleep’ pose. Punk has made the gesture before.
During the June 22, 2024, SmackDown episode, when Heyman asked Punk to help him get out of The Bloodline 2.0, Punk made the gesture before calling Sikoa a ‘fake Uso.’ When Punk cut a promo in December 2023, he did say he acknowledged Reigns as The Tribal Chief. So, what changed?

Even on social media, Punk was trolling when he posted a story. He said: “Who booked this crap?” This could be setting up his eventual feud with Reigns or Seth Rollins. Rollins has been vocal about Punk returning to the company.
Fans are excited to see Punk back in action since his Hell in a Cell match with Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood. The little touch of Punk wanting Heyman back was also something fans got excited about.
Could Seth Rollins cost Roman Reigns the WarGames match?
Rollins is currently in a feud with Bronson Reed and has unfinished business with Punk. Both men will be in the WarGames match at Survivor Series. Fans have theorized that Rollins could also get involved.
Reigns and his Bloodline have already lost to The Bloodline 2.0 at Crown Jewel. This means that WWE could push for them to come out on top at Survivor Series even if Rollins gets involved.
The likely scenario could be Rollins nearly costing The OG Bloodline the match leading to his feud with Punk. Fans also speculated that since Punk is now involved with Reed, a triple threat between Punk, Reed and Rollins could be in the works.
