CM Punk has shared his first reaction to being revealed as the fifth member of Roman Reigns' team. At Survivor Series: WarGames, he will join Reigns' team as they attempt to put down Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.

On SmackDown, Paul Heyman finally returned to WWE TV and shocked the wrestling world by announcing Punk as the fifth member of Reigns' team. Out came Punk, and a huge brawl kicked off between Reigns' team and Solo's Bloodline.

CM Punk shared an Instagram story with a still from Heat (1995) shortly after SmackDown went off the air. Check out his story below:

"Well ya know, for me, the action is the juice," the image said.

Punk has wrestled only a handful of matches since returning to WWE at last year's Survivor Series: WarGames. Many fans wanted to see him compete at this year's PLE, and they couldn't have been more excited following tonight's episode of SmackDown.

CM Punk and Roman Reigns aren't exactly the best of friends. Punk and Reigns had an epic staredown during the final moments of SmackDown, with Heyman nervously gaping at the duo.

It remains to be seen if Punk and Reigns will be able to put their differences aside at Survivor Series: WarGames and work together to take down The Bloodline.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
