Paul Heyman has returned to even the odds in the Bloodline Civil War.

The November 22 episode of Smackdown ended with a heated confrontation between the two sides set to face off in the Men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series. The team of the new Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa) and Bronson Reed outnumbered The OG Bloodline side (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso and Sami Zayn), with the final member of their team yet to be announced. This was when Paul Heyman appeared and revealed who it would be – CM Punk.

Punk wasted no time making his way to the ring and instigating a brawl between the two sides. The momentum swung the way of the OG Bloodline, with them clearing the ring and leaving room for Reigns and Punk to hit simultaneous finishers. The pair had a heated staredown, with the crowd voicing their appreciation.

Heyman last appeared on WWE TV back in June, when the new Bloodline attacked him for refusing to acknowledge Sikoa as the true tribal chief. A segment in last week’s SmackDown showed Reigns attempting to contact “The Wiseman”. As for CM Punk, this was his first appearance back since going on hiatus after his bloody Hell in a Cell match with Drew McIntyre.

As well as the Bloodline Civil War match, a number of others have already been announced for Survivor Series on November 30. Taking place in Vancouver, Canada, the “Big 4” show will also see Bianca Belair, Naomi, Bayley, IYO SKY, and Rhea Ripley clash with Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LeRae in the Women’s WarGames match. Gunther will defend his World Heavyweight title against Damian Priest.
