Coming off a milestone win in his career at Bash in Berlin, CM Punk was rooting for a future world championship match opportunity. However, an attack from Drew McIntyre sent him to hospital and this might also lead to a rematch between the two, possibly at Bad Blood set for October. Afterward, he’s likely getting the desired title shot.
According to the reports of PWN, WWE is considering Gunther vs. CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at Survivor Series 2024 which is scheduled for Sunday, November 30 in Canada. This event will also mark the first anniversary of the former champion’s monumental return to WWE after a decade-long absence and hence the placement of the match would be perfectly fitting.
