CM Punk was victorious in his first WWE match in nearly two months. He helped Roman Reigns and The OG Bloodline defeat the new Bloodline at Survivor Series: WarGames.
The Best in The World will return to Monday Night RAW this week, as confirmed by General Manager Adam Pearce in a video posted on WWE's official social media channels. It will be interesting to see what he will say in the opening segment of the red brand.
"The train rolls on, and it will roll into Everett, Washington, tomorrow night for Monday Night RAW, where CM Punk will kick off the broadcast..." Adam Pearce said.
With that in mind, we take a look at three things the WWE Superstar can do on RAW this Monday.

#3. He could address his relationship with Roman Reigns after victory at Survivor Series: WarGames
CM Punk stunned the WWE Universe with his return on SmackDown and decision to align with The OG Bloodline at Survivor Series: WarGames. Despite his struggles with Roman Reigns, the two megastars managed to co-exist and lead The OG Bloodline to the win.
Reigns and Punk had a handshake after the match, and The Best in the World could address his relationship with the Original Tribal Chief following the WarGames Match.
This will be an interesting statement, as the former Universal Champion is expected to move to RAW from early January onwards, meaning that a feud with The Best in the World could be a future plan for WWE Creative.
#2. Punk could take a shot at Seth Rollins
It is very likely that this will happen, especially after what happened at Survivor Series. The OG Bloodline had offered the fifth spot to Seth Rollins, but The Visionary turned it down twice.
Instead, it was CM Punk who stepped up and joined The OG Bloodline on Saturday. The RAW star could take a shot at the former World Heavyweight Champion, adding more fuel to their rivalry.
Punk and Rollins are set to collide in early 2025, with WWE planning to have the two megastars clash in a blockbuster match at WrestleMania 41 in mid-April.
#1. CM Punk could challenge Gunther to a match on the RAW premiere on Netflix
CM Punk had made it clear that once his rivalry with Drew McIntyre was over, he would go after Gunther and the World Heavyweight Championship.
After Bad Blood in early October, The Best in The World took a six-week hiatus and made a one-off appearance with The OG Bloodline. Now, his return to Monday Night RAW could see him emerge as the next challenger to The Ring General.
Gunther survived a brutal match against Damian Priest at Survivor Series and retained his title, with some help from The Judgment Day's Finn Balor.
On RAW, the expectation is that CM Punk will take a shot at Gunther and will challenge him to a title match. Should this be the case, the match will not happen at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 14, but the RAW premiere on Netflix on January 6, so WWE has time to build up the feud.
