After a brutal Hell in a Cell Match against Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood 2024, CM Punk showed up on RAW to address the WWE Universe. The Best in the World was concerned about his future after sustaining injuries during the match and had a face-off with Seth Rollins when he was heading backstage.
Punk has no intention to take significant time off, and a report by WrestleVotes suggests that he will be back on time for the Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event, which will take place at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, on November 30, 2024.
The Best in the World will not work the upcoming Crown Jewel PLE on November 2, 2024, meaning that he will take at least a four-week hiatus to recover from the brutal Hell in a Cell Match.
With that being said, let's take a look at three things Punk could do should he be back at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.
#3. Returning with AJ Lee
It has been nine years since AJ Lee left WWE and retired from wrestling, but CM Punk's comeback a year ago sparked rumors about the former Divas Champion and whether she plans to make a return.
Punk has revealed that he would love to see his wife back in the ring, thus WWE could plan to have the couple show up at Survivor Series: WarGames, the same PLE where CM Punk made his return to WWE in November 2023.
Should she come back, AJ Lee could target Liv Morgan and go after the reigning Women's World Champion, while Punk could join her for a Mixed Tag Team Match against Liv and Dominik Mysterio.
#2. CM Punk could interfere in Seth Rollins' match
Seth Rollins returned to WWE after an eight-week hiatus and assaulted Bronson Reed, who sidelined him in early August 2024 following a brutal attack. Rollins has now targeted Reed, aiming to exact revenge, and the two are expected to have a match either on RAW or at the Crown Jewel 2024 Premium Live Event.
After that, Seth is expected to appear at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024, but there is still no word on what storyline he will get involved in. Still, CM Punk could show up and distract The Visionary, costing him the match and adding more fuel to their rivalry.
Punk and Rollins are set to re-ignite their feud going forward and the plan is for the two megastars to fight at WrestleMania 41.
#1. Dethroning Gunther and winning the World Heavyweight Championship
Gunther will face reigning Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes for the Crown Jewel Championship at the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event on November 2, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Thus, WWE is not expected to have the traditional "Champion vs. Champion" match at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.
Cody could get involved in The Bloodline Civil War, but Gunther will need an opponent for his World Heavyweight Championship and this opponent could be CM Punk.
This means that the Best in the World will remain a babyface after his hiatus, and he could dethrone The Ring General to end his title reign after 120 days.
On this occasion, Punk could carry the title till WrestleMania 41, with Seth Rollins going on to win the Men's Royal Rumble Match and go after him at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
