Tonight on Friday Night SmackDown SmackDown, WWE aired a cinematic segment featuring Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk. The tense encounter was set in a dimly lit room.
Roman Reigns, visibly agitated by CM Punk’s tardiness, was on the verge of leaving when Punk finally arrived, claiming he didn’t “have a lot of time.” The tension was palpable as Reigns questioned Punk’s commitment, with Punk insisting he was there for Paul Heyman, not Reigns.
Heyman stressed the dire consequences of failing to unite against Solo Sikoa. He warned that a loss at Survivor Series: WarGames would leave them vulnerable to Solo’s faction, emphasizing that “divided, we all fall to Solo; united, at best, we survive.”
Punk agreed to participate in WarGames, but not without a price. He reminded Reigns of the “favor” he was owed for saving him from Sikoa’s attack, referring to the infamous “Ula Fala” incident. Punk made it clear that after WarGames, Heyman would be indebted to him.
The segment concluded with an exchange between Reigns and Heyman. Reigns demanded to know what Punk’s favor would be. Heyman, appearing intimidated, evaded the question, stating they needed to focus on surviving WarGames first. The final shot lingered on Reigns’ enraged expression, leaving viewers in suspense.
