Brock Lesnar Joins Team Paul Heyman — But Roman Reigns Shocks the World and Aligns With CM Punk for War Games!

11/17/2025

The WWE Universe is in absolute chaos.

Just when fans thought the landscape for Survivor Series War Games was set, WWE dropped TWO of the biggest surprises of the year:

🔥 Brock Lesnar is officially the 5th man for Team Paul Heyman.

🔥 Roman Reigns makes a stunning return… as the 5th man for Team CM Punk!

This isn't just a twist.
This isn't just a swerve.
This is a seismic shift in the balance of power.

Brock Lesnar + Paul Heyman: The Beast Is Home

Paul Heyman has pulled off a masterclass in manipulation.
With his back against the wall going into War Games, Heyman reached into his deepest connection and resurrected an alliance with The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.

The message is clear:

Team Heyman is entering War Games with pure destructive force.
Lesnar is a game-changer — the kind of monster who can tear apart a steel structure and 10 men if he feels like it.

Heyman has the ultimate weapon. Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Drew McIntyre, and Logan Paul are in Paul Heyman's team.  

Or so he thought…

Roman Reigns Makes His Stunning Return — With CM Punk?!

Just when Team Heyman thought the advantage was theirs, the arena exploded.

The lights dimmed.
The music hit.
And Roman Reigns walked out for the first time since losing the Undisputed WWE Championship.

But he wasn't there for Heyman.
He wasn't there for redemption.
He was there to send a message:

The Tribal Chief stands alone but will be with CM Punk, Jey and Jimmy Usos, and Cody Rhodes.

The WWE Universe erupted as Reigns made himself as the fifth man for Team CM Punk — creating one of the most unlikely alliances in WWE history by super punching Brock Lensar and Bronson Reed.

War Games Just Became the Biggest Match of the Modern Era

Think about the lineups now:

TEAM HEYMAN

  • Brock Lesnar

  • Bron Breakker

  • Bronson Reed

  • Logan Paul

  • Drew McIntyre

TEAM CM PUNK

This isn't just War Games —

Instant classic.

Final Take

The road to Survivor Series just detonated.
Paul Heyman thought he played his trump card with Brock Lesnar…

…but Roman Reigns evens the odds:
A returning Tribal Chief with a score to settle.

This may be the most star-studded War Games match WWE has ever built.
