Paul Heyman believes a CM Punk reunion will happen in future.

The two WWE names have crossed paths in the company since Punk's return to the promotion in 2023. They came close to a reunion leading to last year's triple threat WrestleMania main event, but the former ECW owner ultimately chose to align himself with Seth Rollins instead.

During a recent interview with PWInsider, Paul Heyman was asked about CM Punk's return and his newfound status as WWE's marquee player. Paul Heyman talked about Punk being on the cover of WWE 2K26 this year, and claimed that he is very proud of his former client:

I'm very proud of the fact that CM Punk came back to WWE, because it's a true testament to the fact that all Paul Heyman guys rise to the top. Who was on the cover of the video game last year? Roman Reigns, also a Paul Heyman guy.

He Misses His Wiseman: Paul Heyman

Paul Heyman also floated the idea of reviving his partnership with CM Punk in future, saying that one day the Straight Edge Star will have to admit that he misses his wiseman:

I just think it's a testament to the fact that all Paul Heyman guys always come back home, like Brock Lesnar, they all come back home sooner than later. Punk is out there right now flexing his power as the WWE Champion, and at some point, he's gonna find out that he misses his wiseman and come back home.

CM Punk is scheduled to compete at tonight's Elimination Chamber PPV where he will be defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor.
