The latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown witnessed the highly anticipated return of former WWE Champion CM Punk, marking a significant moment in professional wrestling. Punk, renowned for his intense and passionate in-ring promos, joined forces with Paul Heyman, becoming the fifth and final member of The Original Bloodline for Survivor Series WarGames 2024 against Solo Sikoa’s heel version of Bloodline. This sudden development sent ripples throughout the WWE universe, sparking a plethora of questions and scenarios.

Prior to Punk’s introduction, the OG Bloodline, excluding Roman Reigns, was heavily leaning towards Seth Rollins to join them at WarGames. Rollins, embroiled in a heated feud against Bronson Reed on the red brand, had refused Sami Zayn’s repeated invitations to join the OG Bloodline. However, Paul Heyman’s machinations superseded the original plan, paving the way for Punk’s return.

The mysterytic superstar’s reentry has been highly anticipated, especially after his departure in 2014. Punk’s return, alongside Roman Reigns and Heyman, raises numerous queries and possibilities. The most pressing concern is the potential feud between Punk and Rollins, who has been souring on the idea of joining the OG Bloodline. Punk’s return could have altered Rollins’ calculus, and their ensuing conflict could result in a thrilling clash of styles at WrestleMania 41.

The tension between Punk and Rollins is palpable, with Rollins’ ruthless and cunning nature pitted against Punk’s intense passion and connect with the audience. Their hypothetical feud could lead to an epic showdown, with both competitors bringing their unique strengths to the table. If the WWE decides to take this route, it could culminate in a potentially explosive match in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Roman Reigns, now a two-time WWE Champion, sits at the center of the OG Bloodline’s storylines. The addition of Punk and Heyman adds a fresh dynamic to the narrative, particularly given the tumultuous relationship between Punk and Rollins. It remains to be seen how this unlikely alliance will unfold as the trio prepares to face Solo Sikoa’s heel version of Bloodline in a WarGames match at Survivor Series 2024.

CM Punk’s return to the WWE has elicited widespread attention and discussion within the professional wrestling community. The consequences of this development are multifaceted, encompassing the potential feud with Seth Rollins, the implications of Punk’s arrival on the card at Survivor Series and beyond. As the WWE navigates the complex terrain of its storylines, one certainty remains – CM Punk’s return is a game-changer with far-reaching consequences for pro wrestling.
