The OTC was shocked to hear this and asked The Wiseman to refuse Punk's demands. However, Heyman betrayed his Tribal Chief by telling him he couldn't say no to The Second City Saint.

Eric Bischoff believes CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins shouldn't be the main event at WWE WrestleMania 41

After WWE announced that CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins would be the main event at WrestleMania 41, Eric Bischoff talked about it on his 83 Weeks podcast.

The veteran said it should not be the main event as the company had no huge buildup to their match. Bischoff added that the only reason the match was main eventing 'Mania was because of the huge star power.

"My opinion, it's a cop out. Unless there are three really good stories that need to collide in the ring in order to come to an end, it's just an attraction. It's an excuse to get big names in the ring so you got headlines, so to speak, from a promotional point of view. You say all your top guys are all gonna be in the ring at the same time. Unless there's a reason for it, if you can't tell me why they're all in the ring and why it should be a main event, then it shouldn't be a main event. It's all about the why. Why would they do that?"

It remains to be seen what the Triple H-led creative team has planned for Paul Heyman and CM Punk's alliance at WrestleMania 41.
