CM Punk’s sudden reinstatement as the fifth man of the OG Bloodline at WWE Survivor Series: War Games 2024 sent suprisewaves throughout the wrestling world, bringing back memories of his iconic rivalries. This move has ignited speculations about potential feuds for the new year, with four massive rivalries being teased for CM Punk in 2025.
One such feud has been brewing between Punk and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, who has been repeatedly touted as the next opponent for the Second City Saint. Given Punk’s desire to become world champion again, it seems inevitable that he will challenge Gunther for the top title on the red brand. As both men have been teasing a confrontation, a matchup between them in 2025 is all but certain.
Punk has also expressed his desire to face John Cena on the latter’s 2025 WWE farewell tour, proposing a final match between the two wrestling legends. This has sparked widespread interest, with many fans eager to see these iconic rivals lock horns once more. Whether it’s the decision of WWE or CM Punk himself, a great deal of fans now want to see these iconic rivals clash once more in 2025.
In addition to these feuds, CM Punk’s return to help the OG Bloodline involved a tense staredown with Roman Reigns, sparking theories about the dynamics of Paul Heyman’s relationships with both megastars. Given how proud and hot-headed they have both proven to be, it’s only a matter of time until they butt heads, leading to a feud revolving around The Wise Man.
Finally, Seth Rollins, CM Punk’s first opponent after his WWE return, is also on a collision course with the Second City Saint in 2025. Rollins has been bitter about Punk’s injury, which led to their previously scheduled match being scrapped, and their on-screen rivalry has been slowly building ever since. It’s likely that their feud will culminate at WrestleMania XLI, ensuring that Punk will be plenty busy in the coming year.
