Reigns was shocked to see Paul Heyman make his surprise return to WWE TV during the latest edition of SmackDown. The Wiseman then revealed that Punk would be the fifth member of the OG Bloodline's WarGames team. The Second City Saint came out and joined The Original Tribal Chief and others as they brawled with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.
After the dust had settled, Roman and CM Punk had a staredown in the middle of the ring. Reigns could be seen saying the words "Why are you here?" to Punk as they looked at each other.

The Best in the World was once Reigns' biggest rival in the Stamford-based company. Back in 2013-14, Punk took on The Shield in a 3-on-1 Handicap match and still ended up defeating the trio. The 46-year-old star then left WWE mere weeks later.
He finally made his blockbuster return at Survivor Series: WarGames last year and has been doing quite well for himself on the main roster since then. Fans are excited to see Punk and Reigns team up against Solo's Bloodline.

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.
