CM Punk and Rhea Ripley's teams walked out of WWE Survivor Series: WarGames with a win

Earlier this year, CM Punk crossed paths with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline and failed to help Paul Heyman. The faction dominated the brand and attacked the OG Bloodline as they were one member short for the event. This led to The Second City Saint's return to WWE.

Two weeks before the event on Friday Night SmackDown, Paul Heyman returned with CM Punk, who became the final member. In the end, The OG Bloodline featuring The Second City Saint won the gimmick match in Canada at the event against Solo Sikoa's faction.

Elsewhere, Rhea Ripley returned to Monday Night RAW in November 2024 after she was taken out by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on NXT. Mami declared War Games and faced Liv Morgan's team in Canada. Later, Bayley replaced Jade Cargill, who was mysteriously attacked before the event.

In the end, Mami got her revenge on Liv Morgan as she pinned her to score the winning fall for her team. This leads to another title match in the future, but Morgan is set to defend her title against Damage CTRL's IYO SKY at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event.
