WWE Bad Blood 2024 is just days away, and several rivalries are expected to conclude at the much-awaited premium live event. A prominent name might have hinted toward a retirement ahead of his upcoming bout.
Throughout 2024, Drew McIntyre and CM Punk's feud has been one of the most talked-about acts due to its gruesome and incredible personal nature. With the involvement of family members, the World Heavyweight Championship, the Money in the Bank contract, and more, the feud has peaked and will likely conclude at WWE Bad Blood 2024.
Days before the much-awaited Hell in a Cell match between the fierce rivals, CM Punk took to social media to possibly tease a "goodbye." The WWE Legend shared an Instagram story with the quote, "Always be ready to say goodbye to anything." While there wasn't any more context, this could hint at his willingness to bid farewell to his wrestling career if he loses to The Scottish Warrior.
Considering the storyline's depth, it could realistically lead to The Straight Edge Superstar leaving WWE if he loses his Hell in a Cell match against Drew McIntyre. While it could happen, it will likely be in Kayfabe and not real life. Considering his excellent booking, Punk is unlikely to leave the company.
The multi-time world champion quitting the company after a possible loss is just speculation for now; nothing is confirmed. Even if he loses, Punk could take several other paths.
Possible career paths for CM Punk if he loses at WWE Bad Blood 2024
Considering that CM Punk was the babyface during the feud and his rival crossed many lines, it makes sense for him to merge victoriously at WWE Bad Blood 2024. If that unfortunately doesn't happen, he could try several things out.
Considering his story with Seth Rollins is still incomplete, he could return to settle differences with The Visionary, possibly leading to a WrestleMania 41 match between the two stars.
He could also have a feud with Gunther over the World Heavyweight Championship or go after The Judgment Day on WWE RAW. In case The Wyatt Sicks turn heel, a rivalry between the two sides will also be must-see television.
