Following Raw, CM Punk attracted significant attention.
The latest episode of The Red Brand Show concluded in chaos, beginning with an intense battle between two male WarGames factions. Near the end, Brock Lesnar was introduced as the fifth member of the villainous team, which included The Vision, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre. Lesnar’s team triumphed over The Usos, Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk, marking their first appearance on WWE TV since Wrestlepalooza. However, Lesnar’s victory was short-lived as Roman Reigns made a surprise entrance, solidifying his role in the heroic WarGames team. Reigns took down Lesnar with a powerful Superman punch.
Following this, Bronson Reed tried to confront the tribal leader but was countered with a spear through the barricade. The fight spilled around ringside until Raw ended abruptly with the arrival of the New York City Police Department. After the show, the villains dispersed while the heroes stayed behind. Before departing, Roman Reigns faced off with CM Punk in a charged moment. Punk then took the microphone to lead the crowd in a tribute to John Cena, marking Cena’s final appearance on the Monday Night Show. Punk closed the night by requesting that his longtime rival’s music be played one last time at the iconic Madison Square Garden.
Fan Take: This storyline elevates CM Punk’s status while giving veterans like John Cena a meaningful send-off, creating emotionally charged moments that resonate with fans. The addition of Roman Reigns to the WarGames match and the intense confrontations hint at major shifts in WWE’s power dynamics, promising thrilling developments ahead.
