A major prediction has emerged regarding former WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk’s status for Survivor Series: WarGames. At Bad Blood 2024, CM Punk faced Drew McIntyre in a brutal Hell in a Cell match.
Following the intense encounter, both CM Punk and Drew McIntyre have been absent from WWE programming. In their absence, reports initially suggested that WWE planned a match between Gunther and CM Punk for Survivor Series: WarGames.
However, it appears those plans did not come to fruition, as Damian Priest became the number-one contender for Gunther’s title. Their matchup is now set for the WWE Survivor Series: WarGames. With CM Punk’s status for Survivor Series: WarGames still uncertain, fans have been speculating about his potential role.
Amid this speculation, a significant prediction from wrestling journalists suggests that Punk could play a pivotal role at the event. The report hints that the Straight Edge Superstar might be featured as the fifth member of Roman Reigns’ WarGames team.
CM Punk predicted to be the fifth member in Survivor Series: WarGames match
Wrestling journalists Corey Brennan from Fightful and Mike Johnson from PWInsider predict that CM Punk will join the original Bloodline’s team for Survivor Series: WarGames. Brennan suggested that Punk stepping into the WarGames match would be a more logical choice than Seth Rollins joining the OG Bloodline.
Even Mike Johnson echoed this sentiment during the PWI Elite podcast, emphasizing the pivotal role Paul Heyman plays in the storyline. He stated, “I’m telling you, the fifth man is going to be CM Punk. There is a reason why Paul Heyman is such an important lynchpin of this story right now, right down to that excellent end on ‘SmackDown’ this past Friday where Paul Heyman’s number was disconnected …
He further added, “I think Roman is going to Paul, ‘Wise Man, I need your counsel, Wise Man, I need your help, Wise Man, I need your advice. And the original Paul Heyman Guy — can’t count Brock right now, obviously — is CM Punk … Punk will be teaming with the OG Bloodline.”
With Seth Rollins refusing to join as the fifth member and Paul Heyman not picking up Roman Reigns’ calls, all signs appear to be pointing toward Heyman potentially bringing back Punk as the fifth member for the WarGames match.
