Paul Heyman made his return on this week’s WWE Smackdown and revealed CM Punk as the fifth man for Roman Reigns’ Survivor Series: WarGames team. Friday night’s show saw the OG Bloodline team still down by a man for the WarGames match at next week’s PPV while Solo Sikoa’s New Bloodline was at a full five men thanks to Bronson Reed’s involvement.
The main event segment saw Sikoa’s group hit the ring, after which Reigns, The Usos, and Sami Zayn came down. Sikoa made a pitch for Reigns to join them or die in the ring. Before Reigns could speak, Heyman’s music hit and he came out to the stage, saying that it would not be a four-on-five match at WarGames because he had a fifth. That brought out Punk to the surprise of everyone in the ring. Punk hit the ring and a brawl ensued, which saw the OG Bloodline and Punk clear the ring. Reigns and Punk took out Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa and then stared off warily at each other to close the show.
Heyman was last seen on the June 28th episode of Smackdown when Sikoa kicked him out of the group and destroyed him.
