CM Punk, having made a dramatic return to WWE at Survivor Series, is now poised for significant storylines within the organization. His comeback, marked by a resounding reception at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, was further highlighted during his appearance on RAW in Tennessee, where he affirmed his return to WWE.
A recent report from Sports Illustrated reveals plans for Punk to engage in a rivalry with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. However, this high-profile feud is slated to follow an initial rivalry with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. The report suggests that the Rollins-Punk feud could potentially headline the opening night of WrestleMania 40, underscoring the significance of this matchup.
Punk’s recent promo on RAW, which was more subdued than his previous addresses, received mixed reactions. Vince Russo, speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW show, critiqued Punk’s approach, suggesting a more direct and confrontational style would have been more impactful.
Triple H, in a post-Survivor Series press conference, expressed enthusiasm about Punk’s future in WWE, indicating a keen interest in the direction of his storylines. As Punk re-establishes his presence in WWE, his upcoming feuds, particularly with Rollins and eventually Reigns, are set to be focal points in the organization’s narrative landscape.
