After his unforgettable Hell in a Cell match with Drew McIntyre, former WWE Champion CM Punk has been absent from the stage. Fans have been buzzing with rumors that the “Sin City Saint” could return for Survivor Series.
With just 10 days left until the event, there’s still no official word from WWE. However, new rumors have surfaced, suggesting that CM Punk could be the 5th member of the OG Bloodline for WarGames.
CM Punk’s surprise return at last year’s Survivor Series left fans in awe, and rumors suggest his involvement this year could be equally thrilling. Wrestling reports hint that Punk might take Seth Rollins’ place in the upcoming Bloodline storyline.

Wrestling insiders Corey Brennan believe Punk’s return makes sense, especially with Paul Heyman possibly being behind the twist. Heyman’s connections with both Punk and Reigns make this potential story even more exciting.
Moreover, on the recent PWI Elite podcast, Mike Johnson said, “I’m telling you. The fifth member is going to be CM Punk. There is a reason why Paul Heyman is such an important Lynchpin of this story right now.” Seth Rollins, who is rumored to be undecided about joining the OG Bloodline, could potentially benefit from Punk’s inclusion.
CM Punk believes his relationship with Reigns will shine on TV
In a candid conversation on the Cheap Heat podcast with Peter Rosenberg, CM Punk shared his thoughts on the evolving dynamics within WWE, particularly his relationships with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
Punk, who has been navigating his return to WWE, expressed confidence that his interactions with Reigns and Rollins would captivate audiences.
He said, “My relationship with all those guys was pretty good. I just had to get the hell out of here. For my own sanity… Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”
CM Punk mentions tons of wrestlers who he would love to face.

He added, “I think a lot of the questions you have like, ‘Oh, what is Punk’s relationship with Roman? What does Punk feel about Seth?’ I think all that stuff’s gonna play out on television because that’s what I do.”
