WWE’s Paul Heyman Just Made Roman Reigns and CM Punk WarGames a Reality

As a longtime WWE enthusiast who’s witnessed the Bloodline saga unfold from its inception, I can hardly contain my excitement! The revelation that CM Punk will be joining the OG Bloodline at WarGames has sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, and it’s a testament to the intricate storytelling WWE is capable of.


On SmackDown’s finale, WWE’s two opposing factions, Bloodlines, met for a showdown. Solo Sikoa issued an ultimatum to Roman Reigns and his original team. However, the addition of Bronson Reed to Sikoa’s group gave them the upper hand, as Reigns had already disqualified some members earlier in the day. After the encounter, Sikoa demanded surrender, but this was interrupted by the long-awaited return of Paul Heyman, who brought exciting news. Heyman announced that at WarGames, it would be a five versus five match, but not with Seth Rollins or Cody Rhodes participating. Instead, CM Punk would join the original Bloodline, leading to a fight to end SmackDown on a high note.

After our rivals stepped into the arena, I couldn’t help but point out their glaring weaknesses: “You’re missing a fifth member, a sage, and frankly, you’ve got no other options. So, consider yourselves defeated. Choose to join my team or face certain death where you stand.

Instead of giving Reigns the microphone for his response, Sikoa didn’t get that opportunity. Suddenly, an acquainted voice echoed throughout the stadium, announcing itself as none other than the legendary Paul Heyman.

Apologies, but I seem to have been thrown off balance at Madison Square Garden, which might explain my arithmetic error. However, let me clarify that a WarGames match cannot be a four versus five team battle; it simply doesn’t add up. The numbers just don’t align for you, dear sir. Therefore, it will definitely be a five against five match-up, and not the proposed four versus five. This revelation was met with surprise by Roman, Jey, Jimmy, and Sami, but CM Punk’s music echoed in the arena, adding another unexpected twist to the scenario. In an instant, Punk made his way into the fray, joining the melee that had already erupted between both groups.

As I charged towards Bronson Reed, my eyes never left him. The rest of their gang seemed to be dealing with others, leaving Reigns and me squared off. Once Sikoa’s crew was out of the picture, there was a tense silence between us. Reigns questioned my motives, wondering why I had shown up. I made it plain that it was all about Heyman, and seeing his grin, it was clear he was thrilled at last setting the stage for this legendary showdown in the ring.

The competition will take place at WarGames, and the teams have been established. It’s Team OG Bloodline (Roman, Jey, Jimmy, Sami, and Edge) versus Team New Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Bronson Reed). This promises to be an exhilarating confrontation. The inclusion of Edge is more unexpected than bringing in Rollins or Rhodes, but it also fits with the Heyman connection, given Heyman’s past interactions with the Bloodline during Roman Reigns’ absence after WrestleMania 40.

As a fervent fan, it’s yet unclear whether Rollins will somehow get entangled due to Reed’s influence, which might pave the way for a future clash between Reigns and Punk. However, what lies ahead is uncertain. For now, this latest chapter in WWE’s epic saga is nothing short of exhilarating, and I eagerly anticipate the unfolding events next week.
