CM Punk’s surprise announcement that he will be joining the OG Bloodline team for the WarGames Match on WWE SmackDown sent a ripple effect of excitement and skepticism throughout the wrestling world. The decision to align himself with Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Sami Zayn has raised eyebrows, particularly given his previous feuds with some of the same individuals. Punk’s history of clashing with Roman Reigns and The Usos has left fans wondering if he will be able to put aside his differences and work effectively with his new teammates.

The unexpected alliance between Punk and the OG Bloodline began earlier this year when Paul Heyman pleaded with Punk to help him escape the tyranny of Solo Sikoa. Despite initially refusing, it appears that Heyman’s words had a lasting impact, as the two managed to put aside their differences and join forces for the WarGames match. Punk’s decision to join the OG Bloodline has sparked a flurry of questions, with fans and analysts alike trying to make sense of his motives.

One of the key factors at play is Punk’s ongoing feud with Drew McIntyre. Since returning to WWE in 2023, Punk has engaged in a series of high-profile matches with McIntyre, with the Scotsman emerging victorious on the first occasion before Punk turned the tables at Bash In Berlin and Bad Blood. This intense rivalry has only added fuel to the speculation surrounding Punk’s decision to join forces with the OG Bloodline. Some have speculated that Punk may be using his alliance with the OG Bloodline to take revenge on McIntyre, given their tumultuous history.

As Punk prepares to take on the likes of Solo Sikoa, Bronson Reed, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa in the WarGames match, fans are eagerly anticipating the drama and unpredictability that is sure to unfold. The dynamics between Punk and his new teammates will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping the outcome of the match, and it is unlikely that Punk’s presence will quell the tensions and conflicts that have been building within the OG Bloodline.
