CM Punk Reveals His Favour From Paul Heyman

Ever since the build to WWE Survivor Series: War Games 2024, CM Punk has been dangling a mysterious ‘favour’ over everyone’s heads that he is owed from ‘The Wise Man’ Paul Heyman. On last week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, it was revealed that Heyman had bargained for the triple threat match between CM Punk, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins to main event night one of WrestleMania 41, but Punk noted that this was NOT the favour he was owed.

On this week’s April 4 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Punk finally revealed the favour he was asking of Heyman. During an in-ring promo segment, Punk said that he wanted Heyman to be in his corner at WrestleMania 41, and not in the corner of his ‘Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns - the man who he has been manager for over the last five years. 

Roman Reigns was at first bemused by these suggestions, before an emotional Heyman said that he could not ignore Punk’s request, and would in fact be in his corner. Reigns then cornered Heyman in the ring, allowing Punk to attack him, laying him out with a GTS.
