WWE SmackDown, which took place on June 21, 2024, kicked off with CM Punk. The Second City Saint came out and began talking about his appearance at Clash at the Castle, where he cost Drew McIntyre a huge match. Soon, Paul Heyman appeared and interrupted Punk’s promo.
Paul Heyman then stated that, though he has been the Wiseman for Roman Reigns, he always considered CM Punk his best friend. Soon, “We want Roman” chants broke out in the arena. Thus, it seems Heyman’s mention of Roman during Punk’s promo led to the Roman Reigns chants.

Punk also addressed the situation and said that there’s only one person in the world who has the ability to interrupt his promo and get the fans to chant Roman’s name, and that is Paul Heyman. Meanwhile, it can be understood that the fans undoubtedly miss the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and have been looking forward to his return.
Paul Heyman and CM Punk share a heartwarming moment inside the ring
CM Punk addressed Paul Heyman’s appearance and the Roman Reigns’ chants during his promo. However, The Best in the World stated that he forgave Heyman. Following this, Paul and Punk shared a hug inside the squared circle, and Heyman looked emotional.
Paul then mentioned that he needed the hug and went to ask Punk for a favor. Soon, Solo Sikoa’s music played, and he came out with Tama and Loa. Punk then questioned Heyman about the favor he was about to ask. Paul then said, “Take me with you,” and “Yes” chants broke out in the arena.

It is to be noted that Punk and Heyman share a long history together. Paul mentored Punk and accompanied him to his matches. Also, they had a noteworthy feud. As of now, the duo have shared a heartwarming moment inside the ring. Also, it would be interesting to see if Heyman will once again align with Punk going forward.
When can Roman Reigns’ potential return take place?
Roman Reigns has been away from WWE television since his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. During his absence, several changes have taken place within The Bloodline. Also, fans can be seen chanting Roman’s name consistently. But the question remains: when will his return take place?
While nothing has been confirmed as of now, several fans have speculated that Roman might return prior to the biggest event of the summer, SummerSlam 2024. However, based on the latest developments in The Bloodline, it can be noted that Roman’s return might take place sooner rather than later.

Also, WWE’s upcoming Premium Live Event, Money in the Bank, is all set to take place on July 6, 2024. It remains to be seen if Reigns will make a surprise return during the event. Whatever the case, it can be understood that Roman’s return will be epic, and fans will wait to see if their favorite superstar will return as a babyface or heel.
