Backstage News On CM Punk Joining WWE WarGames Match Being Used To Further Future Storylines


-- CM Punk was announced as the fifth member of Roman Reigns' OG Bloodline, joining the OTC, the Usos and Sami Zayn as they take on Solo Sikoa's Bloodline at WWE Survivor Series next weekend. Punk's inclusion into the group appears to be a well calculated plan by WWE and will evolve into a deeper storyline in the coming months according to two different sources.

-- The WrestleVotes account tweeted yesterday that Punk being in WarGames was "a surprise" and hinted that it would be the first step in a potential Punk-Roman Reigns storyline that would play out presumably next year. Meanwhile, the WRKD X account, which has hit on several stories this year, reports that Punk's inclusion will be used to push his feud with Seth Rollins in the future with Punk claiming that he stepped up to help Roman when Rollins didn't. The report adds that Punk and Rollins remain headed for a WrestleMania 41 collision.
