38-year-old former champion to attack CM Punk at Survivor Series, claims WWE veteran: "He's gonna cost them"

WWE star CM Punk has been grabbing headlines after he showed up as the fifth member of the OG Bloodline last week on SmackDown. The Best in the World agreed to fight side-by-side with Roman Reigns and his entourage to take down Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.

Paul Heyman pulled off a major coup as he enlisted Punk for Roman's team at WarGames. Punk had not been seen on WWE TV since the RAW after Bad Blood where he announced that he would be taking some time off after his brutal Hell in a Cell match against Drew McIntyre.

This week on the Busted Open podcast, WWE legend Mark Henry felt there would be a huge twist towards the end of the match. He felt Seth Rollins would somehow show up and attack Punk. He detailed that The Visionary would take this opportunity to destroy the Straight Edge Star and would end up costing Roman Reigns the match.

"I'm just thinking that Seth Rollins interferes somehow. I just got this gut feeling that Seth is gonna take it upon himself to say, 'No, I'm gonna inflict some pain on Punk.' He's gonna cost them." [From 5:42 - 6:05]

CM Punk and Roman Reigns had a sit-down with Paul Heyman

This week on SmackDown, WWE aired a video of Roman Reigns and CM Punk discussing the team-up at Survivor Series. Paul Heyman was at the table too.

Punk made it clear that he was doing it to get revenge on Solo and his henchmen for roughing up his friend, Paul. The Straight Edge Star said that after this match, The Wiseman would owe him a favor. However, when Roman asked Paul about the favor, Heyman avoided the question and requested his Tribal Chief to focus on WarGames.

After this week's SmackDown, it is evident that there are more layers to this storyline and CM Punk has something up his sleeve.
