Adam Pearce to wrongfully suspend 42-year-old WWE star for his actions on RAW this week? Potential swerve explored
Despite Adam Pearce serving as RAW’s General Manager, chaos continues to erupt backstage on Monday Night RAW. During this week’s episode, tensions boiled over when Damian Priest and Gunther got into a heated altercation. The incident began when The Ring General decided to strike The Archer of Infamy.
Priest retaliated with a fierce kick, leaving the World Heavyweight Champion sprawled on the floor backstage. Shortly after, Adam Pearce arrived on the scene, questioning Priest about the chaos. In response, the former Judgment Day member mocked Gunther, telling Pearce he was simply talking to the World Champion, but now Gunther might need some ice.
Given the circumstances, Adam Pearce could consider suspending the 42-year-old star for attacking Gunther and potentially jeopardizing his status for Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. The RAW GM might justify his decision by emphasizing the crucial role of the World Champion at Survivor Series. By attacking Gunther, Priest not only risked injuring him but also jeopardized his availability for the premium live event.
If suspended, Priest would face serious consequences, opening the door for a major twist in CM Punk's comeback. The Best in The World could make his long-awaited return and replace Priest in the WarGames match against The Ring General.
Fans have been speculating about a feud between Punk and The Ring General for months, and recent reports suggest that Punk is scheduled to appear at Survivor Series. This development could lead to an epic confrontation, further fueling fan excitement. With several weeks remaining until Survivor Series: WarGames 2024, it will be interesting to see how the storyline unfolds.
The regime of Adam Pearce has already dropped a major hint of Gunther vs. CM Punk
Adam Pearce has been exercising his authority on RAW, booking matches, and making impactful decisions. However, under his leadership on RAW, WWE recently dropped a significant hint about a potential future clash between Gunther and CM Punk.
This hint emerged during a backstage segment where Gunther confronted Ludwig Kaiser. The Imperium leader demanded Kaiser look him in the eyes and tell him what he saw.
Fans quickly picked up on this, as the phrase closely aligns with CM Punk’s iconic catchphrase, “Look in my eyes, what do you see?” from his entrance theme. The subtle nod could be WWE's way of planting seeds for an eventual showdown between Punk and the reigning World Heavyweight Champion.
With Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 on the horizon and Punk's return widely speculated, it will be intriguing to see how WWE incorporates him into the event.
