During the April 7 episode of WWE Raw, we saw a moment where Seth Rollins literally slapped Paul Heyman to bring out his rage in front of the crowd at the Target Center in Minneapolis, as well as to bring CM Punk into the chaos.
But nobody expected that he would end the segment by mentioning that he also owes a favor to the Hall of Famer. This dramatic confrontation has added another layer of intrigue to the already intense buildup for WrestleMania 41.
Paul Heyman appeared on WWE RAW this week in the final segment. He clarified that he wasn’t going to betray CM Punk or Roman Reigns. Seth Rollins couldn’t stand the situation, so he came out to interrupt Heyman and asked him again whose side he was on for WrestleMania 41—CM Punk’s or Roman Reigns’s.
The amazing promo moment stunned everyone. Rollins almost convinced Heyman to go against Roman Reigns, but he failed. Rollins then asked Heyman to stay out of WrestleMania 41 so he wouldn’t be part of the Triple Threat match. When Heyman refused, Rollins pushed him and then slapped him.
He repeatedly asked, “How much are you worth?” in an attempt to gauge the extent to which Punk had come to the ring to save him. However, this brought out a raged version of Wiseman that we have never seen before.

At the height of the drama, CM Punk emerged from the backstage area to rescue his best friend from Rollins, only to be met with a stomp from the former heavyweight champion.
While Paul Heyman was checking on CM Punk, Rollins acted like he was going to stomp him, but he didn’t. Heyman’s face in that moment looked like he had just seen death, but somehow, he escaped. However, Rollins did stop to say, “Now you owe me a favor.”
This was certainly an intense segment to cap off WWE RAW this week.

Before this week’s RAW, it felt like CM Punk was the main character in the storyline. But following this Monday Night RAW, Seth Rollins is also making headlines with the favor from Paul Heyman. Now, we’re in a triangle situation where Paul Heyman becomes everyone’s guy, in a sense.

Theories are arising that, since Heyman has already worked with both Punk and Roman Reigns, this time we might see him betray both and align with Seth Rollins. Whatever the case, everyone is now focused on one question: How will the Hall of Famer repay the favor to Seth Rollins?
