The November 29 episode of WWE SmackDown delivered a prelude to Survivor Series: WarGames, as Roman Reigns and CM Punk sat down to negotiate terms for their partnership. In a tense, secretive meeting orchestrated by Paul Heyman, the two icons hashed out a “one time, one favor” deal to unite against Solo Sikoa and the new Bloodline.

The segment unfolded at a table with Heyman positioned between the Head of the Table and the Second City Savior. Punk made his intentions clear, telling Reigns, “My return isn’t about you. It’s about Paul Heyman.” Reigns brushed off the comment, asserting he didn’t need help, to which Punk shot back, “Paul Heyman does, and that’s why I’m here.”

Heyman, ever the strategist, intervened to lay out the stakes. He warned Reigns that without Punk’s involvement, they had no chance of surviving Solo Sikoa. “Divided, we all fall to Solo. United, at best, we survive,” Heyman said, adding that Sikoa’s dominance could spell disaster for them both.

After some verbal sparring, Reigns begrudgingly agreed to a temporary alliance, stating, “One time.” Punk replied with equal conviction, “One time, one favor.” The exchange set the tone for what promises to be an explosive WarGames match.

As tensions simmered, Heyman added an intriguing layer to the conversation, suggesting that Punk’s favor wouldn’t involve Reigns directly. “The favor isn’t for Roman; it’s for me,” Heyman clarified, leaving fans to speculate about what Punk might demand in return for his help.

The unanticipated partnership between Reigns and Punk marks a seismic shift in the Bloodline saga. With Heyman pulling the strings, this alliance could either solidify their dominance or implode under the weight of their egos. As Heyman ominously noted, “If we don’t take down Solo, he’s coming for all of us.”

With Survivor Series just a day away, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will Reigns and Punk be able to set aside their animosity to fend off the new Bloodline, or will this fragile alliance crack under pressure?
