CM Punk reveals his favor, Makes Roman Reigns come out of his Comfort Zone at WrestleMania

CM Punk forced Paul Heyman to leave Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins laughed.

CM stunned the world when he stated “That’s not the favor I owed” to the thing that eluded him his entire career. The Best in the World has wrestled numerous legends in his entire career but was never part of WrestleMania Main Event. It was his dream that has slipped away from the palm of his hand numerous times in his career. Just recently, he was eliminated in the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber owing to his rivalry with Seth Rollins.

The Elimination from the Chamber meant his dream of Main Eventing WrestleMania was all but over. CM Punk however is known for not giving up. Paul Heyman told him that his WrestleMania match contract has a clause that ensures he will close WrestleMania. Roman Reigns thought this would return the favor Paul Heyman owed to CM Punk. CM Punk shook the world when he told Roman Reign that this wouldn’t repay the favor.

CM Punk asked Paul Heyman to be at his ringside at WrestleMania

CM Punk made Roman Reigns handicapped when he revealed his favor. He stated that Paul Heyman would be at his ringside at WrestleMania and that Roman Reigns would have to fight the two of them. This will literally make The OTC come out of his comfort zone. Paul Heyman was caught between a rock and a hard place. He already announced at the beginning of the show that CM Punk could ask him for anything he wanted.

CM Punk reminded Paul Heyman of the moment the latter saved him from getting fired. He also reminded Paul Heyman of the conversation when the latter asked him to make WWE deal with them when he main event WrestleMania. Roman Reigns asked Paul Heyman to say no to which the former replied, “I can’t do that”. Paul Heyman chose friendship over Roman Reigns and CM Punk laid waste to the latter with a GTS.

Seth Rollins was seen shouting I told you the entire time. Roman Reigns exited the ring looking devastated, while Paul Heyman left the ring in tears.. This will add fuel to the already heated-up rivalry of Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns. They will face each other in a triple-threat match at the Main Event of WrestleMania.
