Men's WarGames Match may lead to massive clash between Roman Reigns and huge WWE star, says Rikishi
Roman Reigns is set to lead his team to fight the new Bloodline in a WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series. Hall of Famer Rikishi suggested the anticipated clash could set up a massive square-off between the Original Tribal Chief and another top superstar.
After several superstars refused to join the OG Bloodline in the upcoming WarGames Match, Paul Heyman returned to WWE SmackDown last Friday to reveal CM Punk as the final member of the team. On his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the wrestling legend revealed that The Wiseman's announcement caught him off guard as he thought the fifth member might have been Brock Lesnar.
However, Rikishi pointed out that Punk's addition to the OG Bloodline's team may lead to a match between The Best in the World and the Original Tribal Chief.
"I don't know. Maybe now it's hard to say because I felt with Sami kicking Roman in the mouth, possibly something can turn off from there but now we got CM Punk. CM Punk obviously is a bigger name. As far as then Sami, I feel, Sami is a good worker not knocking him, but you know, main event status, you know, if you wanted to sell something, could possibly come out of this thing here with CM Punk up against Roman or who knows? Maybe CM Punk might be starting his own faction," he said. [14:53 - 15:34]

WWE analyst also thinks CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns could happen after Survivor Series
On a recent episode of his Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts discussed Paul Heyman announcing CM Punk as the fifth member of the OG Bloodline's team at Survivor Series.
The 41-year-old suggested a clash between The Best in the World and Roman Reigns could happen after the upcoming premium live event:
"The idea that we're gonna see Roman Reigns and CM Punk on the same team, which only plants seeds for a future match between Roman Reigns and CM Punk, is so, like, the minute you see those guys together and realize that it's all right there in front of you. You've got two years of stories right there in front of us," he said.
Punk and Reigns had a face-off at the end of WWE SmackDown last Friday. It will be interesting to see what their conversation on the blue brand leads to later this week, and whether the two will eventually go head-to-head in the near future.
