CM Punk revealed the character of the favor owed to him by Paul Heyman within the foremost event of “WWE SmackDown.”
Since agreeing to team up with Roman Reigns and the Original Bloodline at Survivor Series: WarGames last 12 months, Punk has consistently touted the favor owed to him by Heyman should the time arise; Heyman and Reigns sought to satisfy the debt because it was confirmed their triple threat also involving Seth Rollins can be the foremost event of WrestleMania 41 on the Saturday, April 19, show. But Punk maintained that he was still owed the favor of his selecting, culminating on this week’s “SmackDown” as Reigns stormed down the ring – with Heyman in tow – to demand Punk come out and spell out what he wants.
Rollins appeared next, reiterating his belief that Reigns has underestimated Punk and emboldened him by teaming with him, but admitting that he too was desirous about seeing what was going to be expected from Reigns and Heyman. Thus followed Punk’s entrance, roared on by the Chicago crowd as he recalled his history with Heyman and cemented the thought of loyalty between them.
He then told Reigns that the favor he wanted was Heyman to be in his corner for the WrestleMania match, to which Reigns burst out laughing and said Heyman would refuse even when he let him. Heyman hesitated, prompting Reigns to push him into telling Punk that he would not do it. Heyman as a substitute told Reigns that he couldn’t refuse Punk, prompting Rollins to burst out with laughter at proceedings as Reigns cornered Heyman. But in turning his back to Punk he afforded his rival the chance to hit him with the GTS, drawing a scream out of Heyman for his “Tribal Chief” as Rollins and Punk stared each other all the way down to close the show.
