Bloodline member accuses CM Punk of manipulating the fans

A bloodline member came face-to-face with CM Punk on WWE RAW. He accused The Straight Edge Superstar of manipulating the fans.

Last week on WWE RAW, Adam Pearce announced a Battle Royal to determine who would face CM Punk for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event. Jey Uso ended up winning the match after eliminating Dominik Mysterio.

Tonight on the red brand, Jey Uso came face-to-face with Punk. The Second City Saint said it's good that Jey is finally listening to himself for a change, and he showed everyone he has what it takes by eliminating his own brother, Jimmy Uso, in the Battle Royal last week. However, Punk asked Jey how far he's willing to go in their World Title match. Punk also told him that he needs to become champion again. Jey then accused Punk of manipulating the fans into cheering for him and painting the former as the bad guy. He then promised to show Punk that he is the best in the world on Saturday.

Peter Rosenberg picks CM Punk to win at Saturday Night's Main Event

CM Punk is the odds-on favorite heading into his World Title match at Saturday Night's Main Event. Many fans believe that it's almost a guarantee that Punk will walk out as world champion.

On his Cheap Heat podcast, Peter Rosenberg also picked Punk to win the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event.

"I think at this point it kind of makes it a guarantee that Punk wins. Like it can't be that they're going back to Jey with the world title right now. Like I just can't see that being a possibility," Rosenberg said.

It remains to be seen who will walk out of Saturday Night's Main Event as the new World Heavyweight Champion.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
