6 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE Raw (14 April - Results & Review)

4. But Whose Side Is He On?

Strip away the “future of the industry” foolishness and focus on the match itself, and the triple threat between Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk has some potential.

While the Paul Heyman angle is a bit contrived, there is an interesting component to it. Heyman is a wrestling cockroach, managing to survive for decades by glomming onto the next big thing and abandoning the old and busted wrestlers before going down with a sinking ship. Heading into Saturday, does that mean Heyman moves on from Roman (the Tribal Chief insulting and piefacing the Wise Man doesn’t help)? Does he side with longtime Heyman Guy Punk?

Or does Heyman swerve everyone and go with Rollins to kick off a heel turn that Seth heavily hinted at Monday night? Rollins invoked the “best for business” line during his promo and used a steel chair on Roman like he did when he broke up The Shield more than a decade ago.

There’s also always the possibility that Roman and Heyman were working Punk and Rollins (and everyone else), and Paul will side with his Tribal Chief on Saturday.

Whoever emerges victorious and/or with Heyman at his side will undoubtedly have the momentum to carry him to the world title scene, and that’s the real clout in play at WrestleMania 41.
