The Triple Threat match between Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins has finally been confirmed for WrestleMania 41. With just a few days to go, everyone is excited to see the three top-tier wrestlers settle their scores on the grandest stage of the year.
However, the real trouble is for Paul Heyman. Both Roman and Punk are his favorites, and it’s unclear how he’ll handle the situation with both of them facing off in this intense feud.
Though Paul Heyman is Roman Reigns’ manager, there’s no denying how much he cares about CM Punk as well. Since last year’s Survivor Series, WWE has hinted multiple times that Heyman wants to keep Punk and Roman on the same page, but it hasn’t worked out.
Then, rumors started swirling when Punk did Heyman a favor, making fans think the Hall of Fame manager might betray his Tribal Chief. But so far, there’s been no sign of that happening. Now that Roman and Punk are set to face off at WrestleMania 41, everyone—including Heyman—is in a tough spot trying to figure out how to handle it.
CM Punk: “Thanks for delivering your tribal chief on a silver platter for me. I really appreciate it.”

During this week’s SmackDown, when Punk and Reigns exchanged verbal shots on the mic, Heyman looked genuinely confused about what to do. His innocent, torn expression during the heated exchange made the crowd feel a bit sorry for the Special Counsel.
Now, many are predicting that on April 1, we might witness the Hall of Fame manager betraying Roman Reigns. But these are just speculations. There’s also a chance that at some point, we’ll see Punk cash in on the favor he asked from Heyman last year.
