Bully Ray shared a potential plan for WWE to have CM Punk return at the end of Saturday’s Survivor Series on the most recent episode of Busted Open Radio.
Despite reports that WWE is not interested in having Punk return, that didn’t stop fans from thinking that Punk could be the fifth member of the babyface team in the Men’s WarGames match. This is why WWE announced Randy Orton as the chosen wrestler ahead of time.
“Now that we know Randy is the fifth guy, do you think that stops people from chanting CM Punk? They could have the best of both worlds right now if Punk is involved. I’ll create a scenario for you, if you want to talk about grabbing people’s attention … you do the War Games, babyfaces go over, babyfaces are hands raised and out of nowhere, [Orton hits the] RKO on Cody and ‘holy s**t, what just happened’ and everyone is in complete shock –- and then hit ‘Cult of Personality.’ Punk comes out on the stage, go off the air. Punk with fits with somebody huge on the roster and would be a huge WrestleMania match — Seth [Rollins] is the one that said, ‘F Phil, stay where you are Phil, we don’t need you Phil’. Well, could you imagine if Phil comes back and on Monday Night Raw, Seth is out there and he says, ‘Well Seth, Phil is back, now what?’ There’s something there. All you have to do is give Punk the microphone and have him remind everybody. Punk still has that something special where people will listen to what he has to say. I don’t think the WWE needs CM Punk right now and I think that if the WWE brought back CM Punk … I think it’s more for a giant middle finger to AEW and I don’t think they need to do that.“

The possibility of CM Punk returning to WWE has been a topic of discussion among wrestling fans for years. Despite reports suggesting that WWE is not interested in bringing Punk back, there are still many fans who hope to see the former WWE Champion make a comeback. Bully Ray, a former WWE wrestler and current wrestling analyst, recently shared a potential plan for Punk’s return on the Busted Open Radio.
Bully Ray’s idea revolves around the Men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series. He suggests that WWE could have announced Randy Orton as the fifth member of the babyface team ahead of time to prevent fans from speculating about Punk’s return. However, after the match, when the babyfaces are celebrating their victory, Orton could shock everyone by hitting his signature move, the RKO, on Cody Rhodes. This unexpected turn of events would leave the audience in complete shock.
And then, as the crowd is still trying to process what just happened, CM Punk’s entrance music, “Cult of Personality,” could hit. Punk would make his way to the stage, creating an electrifying moment for the fans. Bully Ray believes that this surprise return would generate a lot of buzz and attention for WWE. He also suggests that Punk could have a major storyline leading up to WrestleMania, possibly involving a feud with Seth Rollins.
Bully Ray points out that Rollins previously made derogatory comments about Punk, saying that they don’t need him. So, if Punk were to return, it would create an interesting dynamic between the two wrestlers. Bully Ray believes that Punk still has that special something that makes people listen to what he has to say. Giving him a microphone and allowing him to remind everybody of his impact would be a powerful moment.
However, Bully Ray also acknowledges that WWE may not necessarily need CM Punk at the moment. He suggests that if WWE were to bring back Punk, it could be seen as a move to counter All Elite Wrestling (AEW), a rival wrestling promotion. Bully Ray believes that WWE doesn’t need to do this and should focus on building their own stars instead.
In conclusion, the possibility of CM Punk returning to WWE continues to be a hot topic among wrestling fans. Bully Ray’s idea for Punk’s return at Survivor Series presents an intriguing scenario that would undoubtedly grab people’s attention. Whether or not WWE decides to bring back Punk remains to be seen, but it’s clear that his return would create a significant buzz in the wrestling world.
