The WWE Universe is buzzing ahead of the highly anticipated Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 pay-per-view event, set to take place this Saturday. In the main event, Roman Reigns will lead his team of The Usos, Sami Zayn, and CM Punk into battle against the formidable New Bloodline and powerhouse Bronson Reed in the grueling WarGames match.
The blockbuster inclusion of CM Punk in Reigns’ team has fans speculating about the dynamics and chemistry within this star-studded lineup. In a recent appearance on the SI Media Podcast, Roman Reigns shared his thoughts on what Punk and the rest of the team bring to the table—and his comments provided a fascinating glimpse into the dynamics of this unique faction.
A WarGames Match Full of Family and Surprises
For Reigns, the WarGames match is about more than just competition—it’s deeply personal. With his family heavily involved, the match carries an emotional weight.
“I mean just first off, to be in a match just full of your family, whether you’re fighting with or against each other, it’s pretty neat. In the grand scheme just looking from God’s perspective, it’s something I’m very blessed and very fortunate and grateful for,” Reigns said.
The family drama surrounding The Bloodline has been one of WWE’s most compelling storylines, and this WarGames match adds yet another layer of intrigue. Facing off against the New Bloodline, led by his estranged cousins, elevates the stakes for Reigns and his team.
CM Punk: The Wild Card
When asked specifically about CM Punk’s role in the team, Reigns delivered a characteristically witty and insightful answer.
“To add some of the personalities that we have added, a CM Punk, Sami Zayn, Paul. These are outside figures who are working in, some way closer than others,” he began.
Reigns likened Punk’s presence to an unexpected family guest.
“I look at Paul [Heyman] like chosen family, Sami’s one of those guys that just slowly but surely endeared himself in, and then Punk is like this crazy, who knows what kind of in-laws, how did this even happen? Who are you here with, you know what I mean? Like checking the guest list, hold on how did you get in here?”
Reigns’ analogy reflects the unpredictable and polarizing nature of Punk’s personality, both on and off the screen. While Punk’s return to WWE has reignited fan excitement, it has also raised questions about how well he will gel with the rest of the team.
Sami Zayn and Paul Heyman: The Connective Tissue
Reigns also acknowledged the contributions of Sami Zayn and Paul Heyman, describing them as integral pieces of the team.
“Sami’s one of those guys that just slowly but surely endeared himself in,” Reigns said.
As for Heyman, who has long been the architect of Reigns’ dominance, Reigns referred to him as “chosen family,” underscoring Heyman’s role as a trusted ally in The Bloodline saga.
What to Expect at WarGames 2025
The stakes couldn’t be higher for this WarGames match. With tensions running high and a mix of family ties, friendships, and rivalries in play, Reigns’ team faces a massive challenge against the New Bloodline and the intimidating Bronson Reed.
Punk’s addition to the team adds an unpredictable edge, while Sami Zayn’s emotional investment in The Bloodline saga will likely play a key role in the match’s outcome.
One thing is certain—when Reigns, The Usos, Zayn, Punk, and their opponents step inside the unforgiving WarGames structure, fireworks are guaranteed.
Final Thoughts
Roman Reigns is no stranger to high-pressure situations, but this match promises to be one of the most emotionally charged of his career. With CM Punk as the wild card, Sami Zayn as the heart, and The Usos as the backbone of the team, Reigns will need every ounce of their combined strength and strategy to overcome the challenges ahead.
Fans won’t want to miss this showdown at Survivor Series: WarGames 2025, as it promises to deliver a mix of drama, action, and perhaps some unexpected twists that only WWE can provide.
