During this week’s SmackDown episode, CM Punk and Roman Reigns had a face-to-face conversation about their dispute in preparation for WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.
A particular segment was broadcasted on Friday, where the two reluctant teammates struggled to settle their disagreements.
Punk made Reigns and Paul Heyman sit in anticipation before he finally showed up, just when The Original Tribal Chief was about to depart.
Punk asserted that he was there to support Heyman, while Reigns expressed his disinterest in his aid, expressing his dislike for Punk’s attitude.
Reigns stated that he was not keen on collaborating with Punk, prompting Heyman to intervene.
Heyman emphasized that Solo Sikoa has been a hurdle since after WrestleMania and encouraged Punk and Reigns to unite.
Punk disclosed his lack of affection for Reigns and his desire for revenge against Solo and the New Bloodline for what happened to Heyman.
Punk suggested that they could settle their differences in another way after WarGames.
Both Reigns and Punk agreed that this would be a one-off team-up, and Punk remarked, “One time, one favor.” However, he added that the favor won’t be owed to him, but to Heyman.
Following Punk’s exit, Reigns asked Heyman what was the nature of the favor, to which Heyman responded they would talk about it after WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.
