Paul Heyman has shown time and again that his allegiance lies with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
However, enthusiasts on Twitter chewed on the prospect of The Wiseman eventually turning on The Tribal Chief when CM Punk possibly returns to WWE. The Straight Edge Superstar's time with AEW is seemingly over amid reports that the company is negotiating with him over a contract buyout.
Interestingly, WWE is said to be inquisitive about bringing the 44-year-old back in the wake of his uncertain future in pro wrestling.
The Second City Saint is currently mending a torn tricep injury he sustained during his match against Jon Moxley at the All Out pay-per-view. The Chicago native will face a lengthy spell on the sidelines for at least eight months, meaning the chances of him jumping ship in time for WrestleMania 39 are slim to none.

Regardless, some fans have pitched the idea of a blockbuster rivalry between Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
Others pondered whether Paul Heyman would turn on The Bloodline and join forces with his former client, with whom he enjoyed considerable success during Punk's 434-day reign as WWE Champion.
Check out some of the Twitter reactions below:
What does CM Punk have to say about Roman Reigns?
Former AEW World Champion CM Punk has been very outspoken, as fans witnessed when he launched a tirade at AEW and its EVPs a few months ago.
However, Roman Reigns' character mutation from The Big Dog to The Tribal Chief has caught the attention of The Straight Edge Superstar.
Last year, Punk heaped praise on Reigns' character work but opined that WWE took too long to pull the trigger on their poster boy:
"His character work, his in-ring stuff. It’s all great but I feel like, classic WWE, they’re always five years, 10 years late. This is something that they should’ve done originally, because they tried so hard to get this guy over as a babyface and they gave him X amount of ‘Mania main events. Like, ‘This is the guy, this is the guy, this is the guy,’ and he never really had his moments until now.”
Meanwhile, The Bloodline leader took a massive jibe at CM Punk's shocking return to pro wrestling last year.
The Head of the Table asserted that he is doubtful of The Second City Saint elevating him if the two were to have a match. Only time will tell whether destiny brings the two men under the same roof again.
