Wrestling personality has a major hint on what Paul Heyman's "favor" to CM Punk could be
Everybody is wondering what Paul Heyman's favor to CM Punk is following his successful effort at Survivor Series: WarGames. A major wrestling personality has a big hint about it.
On the latest NotSam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts discussed the fallout of Survivor Series: WarGames and what the favor could be that Paul Heyman granted to CM Punk.
Sam Roberts said that he believes that the favor will be that if or when Roman Reigns regains the Undisputed WWE Championship, CM Punk will get a title shot with no questions asked. The wrestling personality went on to express how he doesn't believe Reigns will be winning the Undisputed WWE Title anytime soon, but the fact is that the seeds were planted in the story for a future match.
Roberts believes that this could be where The Straight Edge Superstar gets his favor.
"'You told me not to worry about WarGames, now WarGames is over, so what's the favor?' I personally still believe, as I believed after watching Survivor Series - the favor is going to end up being, 'My Tribal Chief, the favor is, that if and when you reclaim the WWE Championship, nay, your WWE Championship, than CM Punk will be able to call in an opportunity at the Championship whenever he desires.'"

CM Punk had another tease about what the favor could be on RAW
The Second City Saint is looking to wrap up the year with a bang, and he is already thinking about the Road to WrestleMania that begins at the Royal Rumble. He stated that, as of now, he is unsure if his Road to 'Mania will be through the Royal Rumble or perhaps even The Elimination Chamber.
On RAW, CM Punk stated his interest in WrestleMania 41, even without the sign hanging as it usually does from the Royal Rumble onwards. The Best in The World hinted that his favor could have something to do with WrestleMania, with Paul Heyman presumably pulling the strings.
It will be interesting to see what WWE has planned for Las Vegas next April. With two nights, there's still a chance that Punk will headline the show, as he was originally scheduled to headline Night One at WrestleMania 40 against Seth Rollins.
All directions seem to point towards him facing Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41, and should he be fit, fans will hope that he will get that Night One main event spot. It all depends on what WWE has planned for Night Two, especially involving Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Rock.
