Paul Heyman has delivered a message after forming a surprising new faction with Seth Rollins. Their alliance is now targeting Roman Reigns and CM Punk. This follows Heyman’s shocking move at WrestleMania, where he joined forces with Rollins and former Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker.
At WrestleMania, Heyman pulled off an unexpected twist. Initially, he stood by CM Punk, making fans believe he was conflicted between Punk and Reigns. However, at a critical moment, Heyman betrayed Punk, hitting him with a low blow after handing him a steel chair.
Heyman’s scheming didn’t stop there. He helped Reigns attack Punk before suddenly turning on Reigns. In a stunning move, Heyman low-blowed Reigns and sided with Rollins. The duo then brought Bron Breakker into their new faction.
“We Punk’d out a Rebel and Dethroned a Tribal Chief … all in one historic Ball Bustin’ WrestleMania Moment!”

With a powerful new group forming, their next recruit could shape WWE’s future. While no new member is confirmed yet, plans seem to be in motion. More details will likely unfold in the coming weeks on WWE RAW. Meanwhile, Reigns and Punk now face a major challenge.
Who else does Paul Heyman want in his new heel faction?
In 2024, Heyman was questioned about which current WWE stars could match the legendary SmackDown Six from 2002. Heyman singled out Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker as potential rivals to that iconic lineup. Interestingly, both Rollins and Breakker have since joined Heyman’s newly formed faction on Raw.
When asked which talents he would center WWE’s future around, Heyman, a WWE Hall of Famer, listed Seth, Bron,Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, and Austin Theory. These names reflect a mix of established stars and rising talent.
Beyond Theory, fans have suggested other wrestlers who could fit into Heyman’s new group. Trick Williams and Ethan Page are among the names frequently mentioned as potential additions. Additionally, some fans believe Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins’ wife, could also be a part of the faction. These picks highlight the audience’s interest in seeing fresh dynamics and alliances form under Heyman’s guidance.
Heyman’s new faction is already drawing comparisons to his past successes, like the SmackDown Six and Evolution. With Rollins and Breakker already onboard, the group has a strong foundation. If Theory, Williams, Page, or even Lynch join, it could become one of WWE’s most dominant stables.
