Report: CM Punk Joining The Bloodline To Be 'Used As Fuel' For Seth Rollins Feud

CM Punk returned to WWE programming on last night’s Friday Night SmackDown, being drafted in by ‘The Wise Man’ Paul Heyman to join the OG Bloodline ahead of Survivor Series: War Games, evening the odds against the New Bloodline. 

In the lead up to Survivor Series, it has been teased that Seth Rollins would join the OG Bloodline given that Bronson Reed was selected on the opposite side. Rollins had continually refused to join up in recent weeks, though the expectation was that he would eventually give in. This is no longer the case, as Punk has joined the fray (not the band) instead. According to WRKD Wrestling, Punk’s inclusion at War Games has been done to further the ongoing rivalry between CM Punk and Seth Rollins. 

In a post on X, WRKD Wrestling noted that this situation would be ‘used as fuel’, as it is planned for Punk to cite that he stepped up when Rollins didn’t. It is also stated that their WrestleMania 41 match is still very much the plan. Punk and Rollins faced off on the post-Bad Blood episode of RAW when Punk revealed that he would be taking an absence, continuing their bubbling rivalry that has been ongoing ever since Punk returned to WWE last year.
