He got powerbombed through the desk after telling Solo to fuck off and Roman was nowhere to be found. The Heyman hell turn on Roman is going to be historic

Punk vs Roman will happen at Wrestlemania 42. This year Roman vs Rock (ideally for the World Heavyweight Title) Punk vs Cody for the WWE title. Both Heyman guys win world titles. He manages both for each show where both have their own stables. Survivor series next year the two stables fight at War Games and then the losing Heyman guy screws the other Heyman guy his title before Mania. All that leads up to Wrestlemania for the title and Paul Heyman's exclusive services. Paul screws Roman.
Problem is expectations were self made. Usually WWE leads us into creating expectations, but this time WWE didn't hint on Seth, Brock, Rock or anything like that. So the way I see it, if you think it was underwhelming it was on you.
@bluelantern5241 That he'd show up at War Games? How? When?. After Punk was announced Seth didn't even appeared on TV or made ANY comment, him or anyone else for that matter that he could show up.
@CarlosSanchez-qy4tk not because of punk, because of Bronson Reed and then punk. Adding Bronson Reed to the blood line was 100% teasing Seth Rollins. Then having punk next just multiplied the Seth tease
Set up for Royal Rumble, last 3 are Roman, Punk and Rollins. Rollins gets tossed over and the final two stare at each other, they scrap for a while then Heyman walks out. Roman looks over at Heyman who takes off his jacket to reveal a CM punk t-shirt, as Roman stands shocked, Punk attacks from behind and throws him over. Punk now has his Wrestlemania title match.
The fact that we waited to show how well it was shot and built up and sometimes when we expect to get something and don’t get it it turns out great, and when something happens when we don’t expect it it’s even better
Bloodline 2.0 can spin off into a feud with whoever, tag titles, mid card titles, etc... but the reality is and I LOVE the work Solo has done, the tongas very good, Jabob is a future world title holder....but I fully understand as of December 2024 WWE saying, in the build to Maina, have that "Rock" card in our back pocket, having CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman intertwined is way bigger than anything they could have done with BL2.0
One of the most interesting aspects of the bloodline story is that Roman hasn’t changed and he hasn’t apologized for how he’s treated his tribe. There is so much more story to tell and I can’t wait to see what wwe has up their sleeve.
It has to be something championship related, could be when Roman gets the title back, could be to get him the 30 spot for the Rumble, could be during a title match, Heyman is in his corner for it
11:40 he didn’t leave with Punk I don’t think, cause punk hugged him and walked off then Roman came and touched his face. They all walked together I believe
Punk said at the end of the match to Heyman that he’ll let him know when he needs a favour. So i dont believe its been determined yet, just an “i owe you” promise. Likely Punk will use it to get a title match against Roman in the future or if Punk is ever getting outnumbered by a faction during a future fued he could ask Heyman to bring the Bloodline to back him up.
I think the better version would be Roman making the run in (especially if someone like Rollins is left in the match) which furthers both the Seth/Roman story and the Punk/Seth story.
A babyface would not do that. The favour will be something as simple as in the future when Punk is constantly getting out numbered by a faction he will ask Heyman to bring the Bloodline to back him up
One potential idea for Punk's favor, even if highly unlikely: Punk wants Rock. If you think about it, the last time Punk was World Champ in WWE it ended at the hands of The Rock, and in doing so Rock also took away Punk's WrestleMania 29 main event, the last Mania Punk competed at to this day. In fact, I believe there was even word that Cena was all for adding Punk into the Cena/Rock program for Mania 29 & turn it into a triple threat, only for Vince to keep Punk out & give him Taker as a make-do. With Vince out, now you could have Punk want to get revenge on Rock for not only taking his WWE Title from him, but also the Mania main event that he's always wanted... and Heyman can get him Rock in one of Mania 41's main events, with the favor allowing Punk to do so before Roman can (since Rock vs. Roman was meant for Mania 40 last year).
Yeah but there should be something exciting happening. OG Bloodline winning wasn’t a suspenseful moment. It wasn’t Cody finishing his story where even if there wasn’t the cameo surprises just Cody winning was enough to want to see. Nothing special happened. Maybe you think it’s perfectly fine to get a get match, a few good moments, and a good PPV but with this being the “cinamatic era”, the era that’s “bigger than the attitude era”, I expect greatness every PPV. I expect something to talk about afterwards. THERE’S nothing to talk about. We’re looking for things to possibly talk about because there’s nothing else to talk about.
See that's where I think you're wrong. For punk to completely pull off the heel turn effectively and quick enough he needs Paul heyman by his side after he turns on Roman. Having Paul for his heel turn in this situation is absolutely necessary..does punk need heyman for his career? Of course not but for this heel turn coming he needs Paul to speed up the process and build enough hatred in time for WrestleMania. I just don't know how ppl miss these obvious things. Yes he doesn't need him for his career but he 1000% needs him in this particular situation. If it was a heel turn that didn't involve a match with Roman?. He wouldn't need Paul it's specifically because Roman is the opponent..I hope you understand what I'm saying I'm not being a dick but you're way off and I'm telling you why I'm right about this..I know wrestling fans don't take criticism well so I don't expect you to say anything of value which is why I doubt I'll even check your response if you do respond
@@wotajoker4802 naw tna dont know to use him right now he in a pointless feud with jobbers he shoulve won the belt but nick pull a hulk and said that dont work me brother.
It really wouldn't make much storyline sense if Punk played the heel coming from a point of jealousy because Reigns having been the chosen one & eventually being shoved down the fans throats relentlessly because that didn't play out on TV until after Punk was off WWE TV. So even though everyone behind the scenes knew he was the golden goose they were hitching their company to Punk was long gone before Reigns was being handed every opportunity he would eventually get
I think the favor is that Punk gets a title shot before Roman does. Also I think Dave is reading way too much into that question that was asked to Punk from that reporter. And Punk only said that Vince wanted Punk to make Roman look very strong during his 3 on 1 match back in 2013. Plus there is no way most of the fans are going to boo Punk if WWE decides to make him a heel. During war games the fans were mainly chanting Punk’s name more than anyone else. At this point in Punk’s career there is no way fans are going to boo him.
My booking: Jacob turns on Solo, taking over Bloodline 2.0 and bringing in even more guys. Solo goes to Roman for help, admitting he was in over his head and lost control of the Bloodline. OG bloodline back together in full. Now has to deal with Bloodline 2.0 led by jacob.
I didn't watch it because the PLE and TV seem like they blend together. The War Games matches don't need to go past 30 minutes, and you don't need weapons for a cage match; the cage is a weapon.
I expected something bad to happen with the babyface team breaking down. So things ending up positive actually made me come out of it very happy. I never expected Rock.
You can still predict where a story is going and still get swerved. Like new day breaking up. We all knew it was happening we just didn't know it would be kofi and woods kicking out big E. They split up just not how we expected and that's what I love about their storytelling. They can still swerve us without completely ruining the story being built
Roman vs Punk Main Event at Mania is a main event in didn’t know i wanted. If Rock vs Roman doesn’t happen. That’ll be my pick for the Main event. I wonder..Punk vs Roman, Rock vs Cody in next years Mania?
WWE loves planting seeds for future stories. It's fantastic. It reminds me of Game of Thrones. You have to wait for the playoffs. How long did we have to wait to find out who poisoned Jeoffrey? All the seeds that were planted throughout 6 seasons to find out the truth behind John Snow! Now, to get the rest of the show on the same level as the Bloodline storytelling... the favor?
I think they're trying to leave all directions available for creative with the bloodline story. They want to be flexible with rock's schedule, so if he isn't around, they can still do something interesting instead of looking like a last minute replacement. The final boss character can kind of just float around in the back, and you never know when he'll really appear. He also said his and cody's story was just beginning.
What y'all failed to mention was that in that post-Survivor Series presser, when Punk was asked the question about what he thought of all of Roman's accomplishments since Punk left WWE almost 11 years ago, Punk's answer was two words: "No comment". He didn't whine or moan or complain about the past; he just said nothing, ***because he didn't have to say anything***, because he's got that favor from Paul Heyman in his back pocket. He confirmed what that favor is about tonight on Raw: the Wrestlemania main event and the WWE title. He's not focused on the past, he's focused on the future. As Punk said a year ago, "I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to make money." That had the double meaning of taking another shot at the "Elite" in AEW as well as establishing the kayfabe storyline of his WWE character, which is the same one as in his last tenure: He is himself. What you see is what you get. If you love him, great; if you hate him, he doesn't care. He's there to do business and take care of his business. Very Austinesque, when you think about it, which explains Punk's ongoing mega-popularity.
I was there and as a person who lives close and is a fan I think there were a couple reason why the crowd sucked. 1. Unfortunately, this is a Vancouver issue not a fan issue. EVERY Vancouver crowd for anything isn't the best. 2. Ticket prices were crazy! you couldn't even get into the upper deck for less than $150-200. I know a lot of fans who would usually go but couldn't afford to go. 3. I think because of that, there were so many non fans in attendance and had no idea on when to cheer or how to get involved. I was there for AEW Collision in May and it was half the amount of people but twice as loud. Difference was I paid $40 for the lower bowl and not $200 for the upper deck. Hope this helps!
The favor I think is going to come into play at the Rumble. Paul will cost Roman the win and help Punk. It makes sense and lead into Punk doing his dream and that is to main event Wrestlemania next year.
Or Roman and the USOS have to become Punks SAMOAN SHIELD like in the first place Punk created the chance for Roman being Part of originally planned SHIELD for Punk???
Here's what I'm hoping for...Punk and RR as the final two for the Rumble Royal. RR wins. Weeks later, Punk cashes in his favor. Paul Heyman comes out with Brock Lesnar, Brock takes out RR. Punk moves into RR spot in one of the main events at WrestleMania...against John Cena.
Bully, either the favor is that Punk wants Paul to pull strings and get him a world title shot against Gunther, or he wants Paul to be the Wiseman for both of them.
I truly believe we going to have Seth vs Punk. Seth getting the World Heavyweight Championship one shape or form and continue the story that we should’ve gotten for Mania!! now that itself will feed families
Paul Heyman did not leave with Punk after the WarGames match. Paul waited for Roman and Roman put his hand on Heymans face. Punk and Heyman left together on last weeks smack down when Paul returned but not at Survivors series
The favor that CM Punk asked Paul Heyman is that Heyman has to help Punk get a Title Shot before helping Roman getting another Shot at the Title? Punk just talked about the favor that Heyman owes him "on Raw last night". Talking about Paul Heyman owes him a favor, then said he has his eyes on a title shot in the WWE.
lead up to punk vs Rollins, wrestle mania. several wrestlers and hhh do interviews trashing punk on a special Steve Austin podcast series where he joins in on the fun. Rollins vs punk lumber jack match the locker room helps rollins win. punk is disillusioned starts lashing out is seen out to dinner with paulie and lesnar. punk cons Cody into none dq match. wrestle mania punk vs Cody. punk makes his entrance with Paulie and cody with Arn Cody has punk beat- Arn pulls Cody off punk, cody starts to argue with Arn. Roman and Lesnar come out of crowd behind cody and slide in ring and beat down Cody. punk covers and wins championship Paul comes in ring ladies and gentlemen, we are the dangerous alliance, drops mike and they leave cody laying in the ring
Solo destroyed Paul Heymans phone that’s why it was disconnected when Roman went to call. Also Punk was the first one out the cage Heyman didn’t leave until Roman got out of the cage and gave him a love tap
What if the favor is when and if Seth gets the WHC back, that when Punk faces Seth’s, he needs Paul to persuade Roman to help get the belt FROM SETH!!!
I feel that the OG Bloodline vs New Bloodline story is going to be suspended to focus on Punk vs Roman Reigns. There was a clear shift in focus both on Friday and SS
Some thoughts on the favor. 2 “fantasy angles” that are very far out. 1. Roman wins the Rumble. And Punk’s favor is that he gets Roman’s Mania spot. 2. Rick gets booked for Mania and Punk asks Heyman to do Heyman things to get Rick’s spot by working the TKO board. Remember Rock took Punk’s “spot” in Wrestlemania back in the day. Both really far out but interesting takes.
I saw someone else do a review of the wargames and he said that outside of WrestleMania the ppvs dont really finish a storyline. They are just a continuation of the tv programs and the storylines just drag on forever. Tiffy teased for the millionth time about cashing in, the bloodline feud didn't seem to really finish anything, and the judgement day drama is exactly how it has been for months. I agree with the guys that we were expecting something more.
At Survivor Series War Games CM Punk said to Paul Heyman when walking out of the cage after the match he said: "Come WrestleMania I'm gonna come a hollering". I guess none of y'all seen/heard that Saturday? I sure haven't heard anyone mention it. Why isn't anyone talking about it, he said it right on front of the camera!
The favour will be something to do with the rumble or mania. Maybe roman wins the rumble and the favour is that punk gets added to his match so it becomes a triple threat at mania for the title cody vs roman vs punk
CM Punk did humble himself by accepting the Handshake and to screw Roman with a full Bloodline would be the end of Punk ,I think Seth Rollins is going to get the Bloodline and Punk treatment 100% Also you guys just said it Roman will not look for his Title yet the Ula-Fala is what Roman needs to achieve first then get his title back so i would think Roman getting his Ula-Fala back at WM Punk will face Rollins or Gunther for a Belt.
Not everything can be a big moment at the time. Look at the mid 2000s roster, now we know it's stacked with Hall of Famers. Back then, it was a mix of young guys and older guys with a vacuum left by Austin and Rock. Obviously a lot of the older guys were Hall of Fame bound regardless, but big parts of their career came in that time. I believe Survivor Series was a pivotal moment, we just don't know it yet. We got a lot of information, but there was no exclamation mark at the end of the sentence so we feel underwhelmed. Come this time next year, I think we will see it very differently after the Netflix launch and Wrestlemania season. Triple H and this creative team give me that confidence.
The surprise is when Punk has his title shot, Heyman is his wiseman and makes sure he’s the Champion but in the mean time I believe Roman will be champion & it could end up Rock v Roman v Punk
The best thing that's ever happened to me was stop reading dirt sheets because I wasn't expecting anything and it turned out to be a wonderful show.
Smart man 👌🏾
You’re watching this show…
Same here, I speculate what COULD happen but have no expectations
Facts.. they always want the show spoiled, like what's the purpose
Amen
They held on to that final shot for a looooong time. Triple H at this moment, knew he had us trained.
No surprise is the biggest surprise of all.
Yea makes sense. I was expecting big swerves, Seth Rollins screwing punk or punk turning on Roman or Jacob turning on solo etc…..
If there’s always a surprise, then there is never a surprise
boring
The surprise was there was no surprise. That’s the surprise.

Remember, Heyman hadn't heard from Roman the whole time Solo was building up his Bloodline. So in a way, Roman turned his back on Heyman.

I don’t see it happening, but I don’t hate it.
I think the favor is something about the Rumble. Like Heyman politics Punk into number 30 or something.
the idea that we can possibly get roman, seth, punk, drew in the final 4 of the rumble is so good
I didn't watch it because the PLE and TV seem like they blend together. The War Games matches don't need to go past 30 minutes, and you don't need weapons for a cage match; the cage is a weapon.

If Roman and punk end up being the last two standing in the rumble the favor could be to let him win the rumble and headline wrestlemania
The favour is for Heyman to screw Roman at Royal Rumble by bringing back Lesnar to be in Punk's corner and help eliminate Roman.
I say Roman v Rock at Slam. I agree with Phil telling Paul, turn on Roman. I loved it
The favor I think is going to come into play at the Rumble. Paul will cost Roman the win and help Punk. It makes sense and lead into Punk doing his dream and that is to main event Wrestlemania next year.
The twist is there was no twist
Or Roman and the USOS have to become Punks SAMOAN SHIELD like in the first place Punk created the chance for Roman being Part of originally planned SHIELD for Punk???
Here's what I'm hoping for...Punk and RR as the final two for the Rumble Royal. RR wins. Weeks later, Punk cashes in his favor. Paul Heyman comes out with Brock Lesnar, Brock takes out RR. Punk moves into RR spot in one of the main events at WrestleMania...against John Cena.
Rock demands Solo to bend the knee, then faces Roman at mania for the people's championship
Bully, either the favor is that Punk wants Paul to pull strings and get him a world title shot against Gunther, or he wants Paul to be the Wiseman for both of them.
I truly believe we going to have Seth vs Punk. Seth getting the World Heavyweight Championship one shape or form and continue the story that we should’ve gotten for Mania!! now that itself will feed families
The favor is the head of the table. Punk needs it
Paul Heyman did not leave with Punk after the WarGames match. Paul waited for Roman and Roman put his hand on Heymans face. Punk and Heyman left together on last weeks smack down when Paul returned but not at Survivors series
The last time it was Roman vs Punk …Roman won but he was with the shield
Saturday Nights Main Event is going to make everything clear.
Who was Dave’s anniversary with? His hand?
The favor that CM Punk asked Paul Heyman is that Heyman has to help Punk get a Title Shot before helping Roman getting another Shot at the Title? Punk just talked about the favor that Heyman owes him "on Raw last night". Talking about Paul Heyman owes him a favor, then said he has his eyes on a title shot in the WWE.
lead up to punk vs Rollins, wrestle mania. several wrestlers and hhh do interviews trashing punk on a special Steve Austin podcast series where he joins in on the fun.
Rollins vs punk lumber jack match the locker room helps rollins win. punk is disillusioned starts lashing out is seen out to dinner with paulie and lesnar.
punk cons Cody into none dq match.
wrestle mania punk vs Cody. punk makes his entrance with Paulie and cody with Arn
Cody has punk beat- Arn pulls Cody off punk, cody starts to argue with Arn. Roman and Lesnar come out of crowd behind cody and slide in ring and beat down Cody.
punk covers and wins championship
Paul comes in ring
ladies and gentlemen, we are the dangerous alliance, drops mike and they leave cody laying in the ring
SNME in December could be seen as the next PLE but yeah it may also been seen as a unique SPECIAL we getting more of such next Year.
My heart was racing thinking something was gona happen at the end
Solo: "Losing hat consequences"
Also Solo: Loses every match he has😂
They got us with the non-swerve swerve, since everyone was expecting a swerve, they didnt give us one. Swerve!
Punk is going to ask Paul to use his influence to bring back WWE Ice cream bars
What if, Solo vs Roman for main event for Netflix debut? Roman losses due to Rock and it goes all the way till WM
Being upset by a surprise that was never teased is such mark behavior lol
WWE continues to be on 🔥
Favor could be that if Roman wins the Rumble, Heyman finds a way to give the title shot to Punk
Solo destroyed Paul Heymans phone that’s why it was disconnected when Roman went to call. Also Punk was the first one out the cage Heyman didn’t leave until Roman got out of the cage and gave him a love tap
1:40 Mark a fool for this one. 😂
What if the favor is when and if Seth gets the WHC back, that when Punk faces Seth’s, he needs Paul to persuade Roman to help get the belt FROM SETH!!!
I feel that the OG Bloodline vs New Bloodline story is going to be suspended to focus on Punk vs Roman Reigns. There was a clear shift in focus both on Friday and SS
Punk gonna start a cult with Heyman recruiting
Some thoughts on the favor. 2 “fantasy angles” that are very far out.
1. Roman wins the Rumble. And Punk’s favor is that he gets Roman’s Mania spot.
2. Rick gets booked for Mania and Punk asks Heyman to do Heyman things to get Rick’s spot by working the TKO board.
Remember Rock took Punk’s “spot” in Wrestlemania back in the day.
Both really far out but interesting takes.
Speaking of high expectations… your ceiling needs skimming 😂
I saw someone else do a review of the wargames and he said that outside of WrestleMania the ppvs dont really finish a storyline. They are just a continuation of the tv programs and the storylines just drag on forever. Tiffy teased for the millionth time about cashing in, the bloodline feud didn't seem to really finish anything, and the judgement day drama is exactly how it has been for months. I agree with the guys that we were expecting something more.
At Survivor Series War Games CM Punk said to Paul Heyman when walking out of the cage after the match he said: "Come WrestleMania I'm gonna come a hollering". I guess none of y'all seen/heard that Saturday? I sure haven't heard anyone mention it. Why isn't anyone talking about it, he said it right on front of the camera!
You know we’re spoiled when a solid PLE has such a “letdown” in expectations.
The favour will be something to do with the rumble or mania. Maybe roman wins the rumble and the favour is that punk gets added to his match so it becomes a triple threat at mania for the title cody vs roman vs punk
I think the favor is the only thing Punk still desires, a WrestleMania main event spot. #BustedOpen
I think the favor is a guaranteed main event slot at WrestleMania in whatever match Roman is in
Solo said losing has consequences
Maybe that's where The Rock comes in and takes over Bloodline 2.0
Or that Heyman can manage Punk as well and will be no longer just exclusive to Roman????
CM Punk did humble himself by accepting the Handshake and to screw Roman with a full Bloodline would be the end of Punk ,I think Seth Rollins is going to get the Bloodline and Punk treatment 100%
Also you guys just said it Roman will not look for his Title yet the Ula-Fala is what Roman needs to achieve first then get his title back so i would think Roman getting his Ula-Fala back at WM Punk will face Rollins or Gunther for a Belt.
Not everything can be a big moment at the time. Look at the mid 2000s roster, now we know it's stacked with Hall of Famers. Back then, it was a mix of young guys and older guys with a vacuum left by Austin and Rock. Obviously a lot of the older guys were Hall of Fame bound regardless, but big parts of their career came in that time.
I believe Survivor Series was a pivotal moment, we just don't know it yet. We got a lot of information, but there was no exclamation mark at the end of the sentence so we feel underwhelmed. Come this time next year, I think we will see it very differently after the Netflix launch and Wrestlemania season. Triple H and this creative team give me that confidence.
Triple treat match : CMPunk (Heel) vs Roman Reigns (Babyface) vs….. Seth Rollins (Heel)
The surprise is when Punk has his title shot, Heyman is his wiseman and makes sure he’s the Champion but in the mean time I believe Roman will be champion & it could end up Rock v Roman v Punk
