On the March 2 edition of WWE Raw, CM Punk took his rivalry with Roman Reigns heading into WrestleMania 42 to a very personal level when he stated that he would bury “The OTC” next to his late father.
The following week, The Usos stepped up to confront Punk and demand an apology for his disrespect towards their family. When they did not get an apology, Jimmy Uso decked “The Best In The World” for his refusal to take accountability.
This has led to a Bloodline reunion of the cousins Reigns, Jimmy and Jey, which has turned some heads in the WWE locker room.
With Punk facing down a full-on Bloodline opposition at Mania, here are seven WWE stars to potentially join CM Punk against Roman Reigns and The Usos.
8. LA Knight
Over the past few months, fans have seen LA Knight and The Usos align to face off with The Vision on Monday Night Raw.
Despite some tension between Knight and Jey over their separate pursuits of the World Heavyweight Championship, the babyfaces have stood united in the face of Paul Heyman’s group.
On the March 16 episode of WWE Raw, Knight questioned The Usos’ recent reunion with Roman Reigns and asked if The Bloodline was back in full force.
Despite their own issues in the past, Knight could be seen as an ally to Punk with both men not wanting The Bloodline to take over WWE again moving forward.
7. Rey Mysterio
Rey Mysterio is someone who is no stranger to The Bloodline, having feuded with Roman Reigns over the WWE Universal Championship in 2021.
Also, Mysterio has teamed with CM Punk in recent months to counteract The Vision and their takeover of Monday Night Raw.
Seeing Roman Reigns and The Usos could bring Mysterio back into The Bloodline’s orbit and cause him to realign with “The Best In The World.”
Considering Mysterio sees Punk as a friend, it would make sense if the WWE Hall of Famer has the current World Heavyweight Champion’s back in his feud with Reigns and The Usos ahead of WrestleMania 42.

6. Finn Balor
At WWE Elimination Chamber 2026, CM Punk defeated Finn Balor to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
Post match, Punk and Balor showed mutual respect with one another via a handshake. This marked the second time that they showed an understanding with one another after battling over the top prize on WWE Raw.
While Balor is dealing with The Judgment Day after their recent betrayal on the March 9 episode of WWE Raw, he could be called upon to assist Punk in his feud with Roman Reigns and The Usos as well.
Punk and Balor helping one another to fight off both The Judgment Day and The Bloodline could make for a formidable alliance against two of the most powerful and dominant factions of the past few years.
5. Trick Williams
Ever since getting called up to the WWE main roster, Trick Williams has become one of the most popular stars on Friday Night SmackDown in 2026.
Prior to his callup, Williams made a name for himself on WWE NXT, but he had some mentors that helped him along the way.
In interviews, Trick has made it no secret that CM Punk was someone who offered him advice and assisted in his development on the NXT brand.
Now returning the favor when he really needs it, Trick could be called upon by Punk to fight against Roman Reigns and The Usos, placing him in the middle of one of the biggest programs heading into WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.

4. Oba Femi
At WWE Royal Rumble 2026, Oba Femi made his official main roster debut as the number one entrant in the men’s Royal Rumble.
Since his arrival, “The Ruler” has run roughshod over anyone in his way on either WWE Raw or SmackDown.
During his run on WWE NXT, Femi is another individual who has credited CM Punk as one of his mentors that offered him guidance in his time on the brand.
Now that he has settled on Monday Night Raw, Femi could find himself in the main event picture by having Punk’s back as he tries to battle Roman Reigns and The Usos over the next few weeks.
3. Cody Rhodes
It has been no secret that one of the closest friends to CM Punk on the entire WWE roster is Cody Rhodes.
Forming a friendship during their first runs in the company, both Punk and Rhodes have been very tight since making their returns to WWE.
In the past, fans have seen Punk and Rhodes have each other’s backs regardless of the opposition in their way, whether it be The New Bloodline or The Vision.
Now with Roman Reigns reuniting with The Usos and considering their own histories with The Bloodline, it feels like the right time for Rhodes to have Punk’s back once again as he tries to retain his World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 42.

2. Drew McIntyre
Sometimes, it feels like the right time to use the old adage that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
The rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre became one of the most bitter and personal in recent memory.
“The Best In The World” and “The Scottish Warrior” culminated their months-long feud in one of the most violent and bloodiest Hell In A Cell matches of all time.
Now nearly two years later, Punk and McIntyre could align based on their own separate pasts with Roman Reigns and The Usos, wanting to stop The Bloodline from taking over WWE once more.
Sami Zayn
There is no one on the WWE roster who knows Roman Reigns and The Usos as well or as closely as Sami Zayn does.
Once a member of The OG Bloodline, Zayn became “The Honorary Uce” and fought side-by-side with Roman Reigns and The Usos through thick and thin.
Over the past few weeks, Zayn has been displaying a more angry and frustrated side of himself after failing to win the Undisputed WWE Championship back at Royal Rumble 2026.
Now seeing his former Bloodline stablemates potentially reuniting on WWE Raw, Zayn could choose to side with CM Punk, someone he has fought alongside with in the past to counteract this potential takeover from Reigns, Jimmy and Jey.
