CM Punk mystery, absent megastar & more - 4 burning questions everyone is asking after WWE Survivor Series: War Games 2024
WWE Survivor Series War Games 2024 is now in the books. The Thanksgiving spectacle was a solid offering, with a unique blend of storytelling, athleticism, and star power, as expected of an event that magnitude, not to mention the brutal high-flying action typical of the War Games format.
On a night that saw 27 stars compete, a title change hands, and multiple records broken, many pre-existing questions on fans' minds were answered. However, some were left hanging, and yet more new ones were raised. As such, the aftermath of the Vancouver PLE will, in addition to building towards Saturday Night's Main Event, have to address these queries.
As we process the immediate aftermath of WWE Survivor Series: War Games 2024, here are four burning questions on everyone's minds that need answers
#4. What favor will CM Punk ask of Paul Heyman?
The buildup to the Men's WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series 2024 saw Paul Heyman enlist CM Punk's assistance on behalf of the OG Bloodline to take on Solo Sikoa's team. This seemed to be without Roman Reigns' approval, eliciting a confused look on The OTC's face. The trio subsequently held showdown talks wherein Punk stated that he agreed to help The Wiseman in exchange for a favor.
Despite The OTC's numerous inquiries regarding the nature of the favor, neither Heyman nor The Second City Saint had an answer for him. Even after WarGames, the Chicago native could be heard reminding The Special Counsel that he owed him one. This left everyone wondering: What is that favor? When will it be due? How will it affect Reigns, if at all? Is The OTC right to be skeptical?
Given how The Voice of the Voiceless made a friendship bracelet one of the most prestigious items on the product, the mysterious favor could play a pivotal role in his and The Bloodline's fortunes in 2025.
#3. Why didn't The Rock OR Seth Rollins show up at WWE Survivor Series: War Games 2024?

A few days before Survivor Series: War Games 2024, The Rock announced on social media that he had wrapped filming on his latest Hollywood project. This raised many eyebrows in the WWE Universe, causing many to speculate that he would return to the Rogers Arena. However, this didn't come to pass, with The OG Bloodline and CM Punk standing tall to end the show.
Similarly, a section of fans expected Seth Rollins to have a say in the main event, given that three of his bitter rivals were involved. Like The Brahma Bull, however, he was nowhere to be seen. With both men seemingly available, why did neither man show up? When will they make their presence felt? How will they address the events that went down in Vancouver?
#2. How will IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley handle their conflict of interest as Liv Morgan's main challengers?
Rhea Ripley led her WarGames team to victory against Liv Morgan's squad at Survivor Series 2024, pinning the Women's World Champion for the win. This was the latest development in a long saga between Ripley and Morgan, making The Eradicator a strong contender for the title. However, the winning team also featured IYO SKY, the current number one contender for Morgan's championship.
Who will get their hands on the champion first? Will it create friction between SKY and Ripley? If The Genius of The Sky were to dethrone Morgan, would The Nightmare continue to pursue her bitter rival or the title? The Women's World Championship scene on RAW could be incredibly compelling in the weeks following Survivor Series 2024.
#1. There will be many general questions in the fallout of WWE Survivor Series: War Games 2024
WWE Survivor Series 2024 was a very eventful PLE with many noteworthy moments. Every match provided some compelling talking points for the aftermath of the show which Triple H and his creative team will have to address in the coming days.
Shinsuke Nakamura is the new United States champion, but who will be his first challenger? What's next for LA Knight, or even Andrade and Carmelo Hayes? Will the OG Bloodline disband after humbling Solo Sikoa's faction? Is Bron Breakker done with Sheamus and Ludwig Kaiser? How will Gunther and Damian Priest react to Finn Balor's interference in their epic World Heavyweight Title match?
These and so many more questions will need addressing in the aftermath of Survivor Series: WarGames.
