WWE makes a huge announcement about CM Punk following his return

CM Punk returned to WWE this past Friday on SmackDown, being revealed as the fifth member of The OG Bloodline's WarGames team. Paul Heyman came back seconds before him.

The WWE Universe is rightfully excited by this development, especially with Punk and Heyman working together again. The company's official social media handles even posted unseen footage of both stars making their entrances from backstage.

This moment came almost exactly one year after CM Punk returned to WWE at the end of Survivor Series 2023. As much as he has immersed himself in the company since then, it was one of the most shocking moments in wrestling history.

WWE has announced that a behind-the-scenes video of Punk's 2023 return will be released soon. It is scheduled for 10 am EST (7 am PST and 8:30 pm IST). A lot of unseen footage is expected, especially with most people backstage unaware that The Best in the World was returning that night:

As memorable as that moment was, CM Punk may try to top it at this year's Survivor Series. The former World Heavyweight Champion will be locked inside WarGames, so expect some brutal stunts. This will be his first match since defeating Drew McIntyre inside Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood.


CM Punk's next feud may have been decided

CM Punk's spot as the fifth member of The OG Bloodline was seemingly earmarked for Seth Rollins. Sami Zayn and The Usos offered it to The Visionary multiple times recently, only for him to turn it down due to his bad blood with Roman Reigns.

Recent reports have indicated that this will be part of Punk's feud with Rollins, with the former AEW star claiming he stepped up and put aside his differences with Reigns. The two could be set for a match at WrestleMania 41, a year after it was originally planned.

This could indicate a potential heel turn for Seth Rollins ahead of The Show of Shows next year. However, it isn't known for sure what direction WWE will go for this dream match.
