Following the Men’s WarGames main match, CM Punk stunned everyone at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames by making an incredible return. Due to the secrecy surrounding the comeback, it ranks among the most unexpected events in WWE history.
There had been rumors about Punk’s return for weeks, and he had given hints about the event on November 25. Fans are wondering who Punk’s first opponent will be that he’s back. Clues point to a history of rivalry between the current heavyweight champion, and The Judgment Day Leader mysteriously tweeted a statement describing his dream match with “The Best in the world.”
Finn Balor teases fans with cryptic post
The return of CM Punk to WWE has fans eagerly anticipating possible fantasy bouts. Rumor has it that WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and CM Punk are being considered for a huge fantasy match. It is unclear whether Punk or Austin are aware of the talks, but after Punk’s historic comeback at Survivor Series, Finn Balor, a former WWE Universal Champion, made a humorous reference to a dream match versus Punk.
Finn Balor was asked whether he would be interested in fighting CM Punk for the first time, as reports were circulating regarding Punk’s possible return to WWE.
“I’d be interested in wrestling a broomstick if someone is going to pay me money,” Balor joked that he would be interested.
Balor made his WWE debut in 2014. However, he was unable to confront Punk before his first retirement. By tweeting an old picture, he recently hinted about a possible bout with Punk. Fans are excited about the idea of a match between CM Punk and Finn Balor.
Potential opponents for CM Punk’s first match after return
Fans are getting giddy over the return of the former AEW champion to WWE, and they’re already dreaming of possible dream matches. Even though Punk left WWE in 2014, his plans are still out in the air. However, the overwhelmingly positive response from both in-person and online fans confirms his star power will last.
Despite the excitement surrounding Punk’s first definite feud, not all WWE roster members are on the same page. Seth Rollins seems to have a different take on the “Best in the World’s” comeback, as he is shown appearing clearly annoyed by Punk’s presence. The tension preceding Punk’s return is intensified by the divergent views held by wrestlers.
Some in the wrestling community have speculated that CM Punk has hinted at a possible matchup with Dominik Mysterio. Like the “Send Hook” joke, Punk’s Instagram shot of Dominik pointing at him has admirers wondering what’s going on. It’s still unclear if this fight will happen, but Punk’s smart use of social media makes it seem like he’s looking forward to it, which makes fans excited to see how it plays out in the WWE ring.
