CM Punk has once again ignited the fans with his response to Paul Heyman’s electrifying promo on WWE SmackDown. Heyman is ‘The Wise Man’ for the current WWE Champion, Roman Reigns. On SmackDown, General Manager Nick Aldis told Heyman that Reigns will defend his title at the Royal Rumble in a fatal four-way match against Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight.
Last week on RAW, The Rock made a stunning return and expressed his desire to sit at the head of the table, hinting at a potential clash with the current WWE Champion.
CM Punk, a few weeks ago on SmackDown, addressed the leader of the Bloodline, identifying himself as the original ‘OG’ Paul Heyman guy. Punk, congratulating Reigns on his success, asserted that he was the first to have Heyman as his wise man, even before Reigns.
With targets on Roman Reigns from various WWE Superstars, Paul Heyman reacted to The Rock’s challenge on a recent SmackDown. He also addressed CM Punk and the rest of Reigns’ challengers.
Paul Heyman emphasized that The People’s Champion must earn his place at the table, accusing him of using Reigns for attention. Additionally, Heyman welcomed the OG Paul Heyman Guy, CM Punk, back to WWE. He mentioned that Punk was considered as such until Heyman transitioned from being Punk’s best friend to his advocate, and later evolved into the role of wise man.
Responding to Heyman’s message on WWE’s official Instagram, CM Punk shared a nostalgic GIF from his 2011-2013 WWE Championship reign, featuring a triumphant high-five moment with Heyman.
