Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE? Check out a screengrab of Punk's Instagram comment on Balor's post: CM Punk was betrayed by Paul Heyman at WrestleMania 41 during his Triple Threat main event against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Heyman also betrayed Reigns and sided with Rollins, helping him win the main event of Night One. In an interview with Deadline , the former WWE Champion stated that he had been previously betrayed by Heyman and warned him of the receipts coming his way.

The Second City Saint added that the mental pain of the betrayal is quite severe, compared to the physical pain. He said : On the RAW after WrestleMania 41, Punk went after Rollins. He also received an assist from Roman Reigns, but the OTC was taken by Bron Breakker, who aligned himself with Rollins and Heyman.
