CM Punk to make his return with 59-year-old WWE Hall of Famer as his new manager on RAW? Potential twist explored

CM Punk is currently on hiatus from WWE, but he is still expected to play a role at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. While Punk isn’t currently involved in any storyline, fans are speculating that he might have a feud with Seth Rollins, or he can challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Adding to the intrigue, there’s speculation that The Voice of the Voiceless could return with Paul Heyman by his side as his new manager on Monday Night RAW. Punk has long been known as a Paul Heyman Guy, a dynamic evident from their past association. Moreover, following WrestleMania XL, WWE fans witnessed a heartfelt reunion segment where Punk forgave Heyman for his past betrayals.

The rationale behind Heyman potentially aligning with Punk rather than returning to the Bloodline saga could stem from his traumatic experiences. This happened when Solo Sikoa harassed him after Roman Reigns went on hiatus post-WrestleMania XL. During that period, Heyman endured significant hardships without support from the OG Bloodline members.

It’s possible that Heyman might now prefer to distance himself from that drama, seeking a fresh start by partnering with CM Punk on RAW. Returning to the red brand would not only allow Heyman to resume his role as Punk’s manager but also keep him away from Roman Reigns, who remains on SmackDown.

It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the forthcoming weeks, especially when CM Punk is expected to be part of Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.

CM Punk and Paul Heyman's reunion could lead to a major feud

If this scenario plays out, and CM Punk returns with Paul Heyman by his side, it could set the stage for a future showdown between Punk and Roman Reigns. The Original Tribal Chief would undoubtedly be unhappy seeing his Wiseman aligned with The Best in the World.

This could potentially lead to a tense confrontation between Roman and Heyman, with Punk stepping in to defend the Hall of Famer. Such a segment would allow WWE to subtly plant seeds for a high-stakes Punk vs. Reigns rivalry in the future.

Additionally, with Roman Reigns expected to move to RAW in 2025, with the show's debut on Netflix, a feud between these two megastars could be a major draw for the platform. If Punk remains on RAW, their clash would be a monumental storyline, adding significant value to the show’s debut year on Netflix.

For now, we’ll have to wait until Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 to see how the storyline develops, both with CM Punk’s potential return and the ongoing twists in The Bloodline saga.
