The latest episode of SmackDown took fans by surprise with the shocking return of CM Punk, who was brought back by Paul Heyman to join Roman Reigns’ WarGames team at Survivor Series 2024. The tension between Reigns and Punk was palpable, but the two seemed to reach an unspoken understanding, with Roman posing alongside Punk after the show went off-air. This moment not only set the stage for a potentially explosive team dynamic at Survivor Series but also raised speculation about future storylines.
Roman Reigns’ acknowledgment of Punk’s addition to the team, even sharing the updated Survivor Series poster on his Instagram, signals that Reigns is willing to work with the former AEW World Champion for the greater good of the Bloodline’s mission. This also puts a spotlight on Punk’s role, especially with tensions brewing between him and Seth Rollins, which could lead to a high-profile feud between the two at WrestleMania 41.
As for Reigns, he is rumored to be headed towards a WrestleMania showdown with The Rock, potentially setting up a monumental clash of family legacies at the biggest event of the year. The future of WWE storytelling looks poised for several exciting developments, with Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 likely serving as a major turning point for these feuds.
