Paul Heyman will be in CM Punk's corner for the Triple Threat match this Saturday night, as The Second City Saint was owed a favor for helping the OG Bloodline in the Men's WarGames match last year at Survivor Series. However, Seth Rollins recently claimed that The Wiseman also owed him a favor for not attacking him earlier this month on RAW.
Vince Russo questions WWE's booking of Roman Reigns
Vince Russo recently wondered what Roman Reigns had accomplished since The Bloodline.
The Head of the Table lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania XL last year. Solo Sikoa attempted to become the new Tribal Chief following the loss but was unsuccessful. Reigns defeated Sikoa in a Tribal Combat match on the January 6 edition of RAW.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Russo questioned the company's booking of Reigns. He noted that The Bloodline storyline was a while ago and suggested that Reigns hadn't done anything meaningful on WWE television as of late.
"What have they done with Reigns since the Bloodline? The Bloodline, Reigns and the Bloodline was a year ago. What have they done over the past year with Roman Reigns?" [From 1:04:00 onwards]
