WWE’s TKO Group Holdings recently sparked surprise and excitement with their announcement of CM Punk’s unexpected decision to join Roman Reigns’ OG Bloodline for the upcoming Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 Premium Live Event. The news was met with enthusiasm from fans worldwide, as the Second City Saint traded his usual anti-establishment persona for a spot alongside the Big Dog. However, it appears that Roman Reigns is less than thrilled about Punk’s joining the team.

Reigns’ sentiments towards Punk are rooted in the controversy surrounding Punk’s initial departure from WWE, which was marked by public feuds with Triple H and criticism of the company’s creative direction. In a 2020 interview with Complex for the Load Management podcast, Reigns expressed concerns about Punk’s potential return to WWE, stating that it would make his job more difficult and acknowledging the complicated nature of their relationship. It’s unclear whether Reigns’ reservations will create tension within the OG Bloodline, but fans are eager to see how Punk will fit into the dynamic of the group.

Punk’s decision to join the OG Bloodline represents a significant departure from his typical role as a critic of WWE’s booking and creative decisions. His willingness to set aside his differences for the sake of the match has sparked curiosity among fans, who are eager to see how he will adapt to his new role. Will Punk be able to put aside his differences with Reigns and succeed as a member of the OG Bloodline, or will their pre-existing tensions cause friction within the group?
