CM Punk joins WWE Survivor Series team, Paul Heyman returns
Paul Heyman is back, and he’s not alone.
The final segment of Friday’s SmackDown featured another altercation between the OG Bloodline and Solo Sikoa’s new Bloodline. After Sioka threatened Roman Reigns to join his side, Paul Heyman came out and revealed it wasn’t going to be 4 vs. 5 at Survivor Series, as Roman’s team had a fifth member. It was then that CM Punk came out, making his return after taking a break following Hell in a Cell.
Punk and the OG Bloodline took out the Bloodline and Bronson Reed as Zayn and The Usos did a dive to the outside. Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa attempted to attack Reigns and Punk, but they too were taken out. The show ended as Punk and Reigns had a staredown.
Heyman had not been seen on television since June, when the new Bloodline took him out after he refused to acknowledge Sikoa as the tribal chief. Last week’s SmackDown had ended with Reigns attempting to reach Heyman, only to find that the number was no longer in use.
