Paul Heyman owes CM Punk a favor, which he finally disclosed on tonight's WWE SmackDown program. Chicago hosted this evening's WWE SmackDown event. After opening the event, CM Punk was cut off by Paul Heyman. Roman Reigns eventually arrived at the ring when Paul Heyman informed him that he wanted Reigns to see what the favor was.
Seth Rollins, who was only interested in seeing the show, quickly followed. Although Reigns objected, Heyman was unable to refuse Punk when he eventually came out and disclosed that the favor had to do with his best friend. He wanted Heyman to support him at WrestleMania rather than Reigns. Punk then told Reigns, “I’m going to force you to deal with us, because at WrestleMania, in the main event, in my corner, your Wiseman, my best friend, Paul Heyman.”
Roman Reigns was shocked and trying to process, saying, “That’s the favor? (Laughs), You understand he loves me right? He needs me. I saved him. Even if I let him, he wouldn’t (laughs).” Reigns then turned to Heyman and said, “Let this desperate fool down easy will ya.”

Paul Heyman didn't respond, which shocked Reigns. As Heyman's emotions increased, that surprise changed way to frustration, and Reigns said, "Are you crying? Tell him, no, and you'd best clean them up. Reigns became even more irate and said, "I took you in," as Heyman paused once more. I gave you relevance. No, tell him!

At this time, Punk was smiling while Reigns was becoming furious. I'm going to give you another chance. Reigns asked Heyman to tell him no, but Heyman said, "No, my Tribal Chief, I can't do that." CM Punk smiled when Seth Rollins collapsed onto the mat laughing. Reigns is attacked by Punk as he backs Heyman into a corner and strikes him with a GTS. This is indeed a fascinating development that heightens the suspense around WrestleMania 41's big event on the first night.
