CM Punk rumored to join OG Bloodline for WWE Survivor Series WarGames
CM Punk, who hasn’t been seen in WWE since his dramatic Hell in a Cell victory over Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood, is at the center of speculation regarding his role at Survivor Series: WarGames. Wrestling insiders predict that Punk will join the original Bloodline team for the highly anticipated premium live event. If true, this would mark a significant moment in WWE storytelling and Punk’s career, as Survivor Series was also the stage for his WWE return last year.
Reports from wrestling outlets Fightful and PWInsider suggest that Punk will take the spot previously hinted for Seth Rollins. Rollins, instead, is set to face Bronson Reed—the fifth member of the new Bloodline—on Monday’s episode of WWE Raw. Corey Brennan of Fightful shared on X that Punk’s inclusion “would make [infinitely] more sense” than Rollins teaming with the original Bloodline.
On the PWI Elite podcast, Mike Johnson further fueled speculation, pointing to Paul Heyman’s critical role in the storyline. Johnson stated, “I’m telling you, the fifth man is going to be CM Punk. There is a reason why Paul Heyman is such an important lynchpin of this story right now.” He referenced the compelling SmackDown segment where Roman Reigns failed to reach Heyman due to a disconnected phone line.
This speculation gains traction due to Punk’s long history with Heyman, who famously managed Punk during his WWE Championship reign. Johnson explained, “The original Paul Heyman Guy — can’t count Brock right now, obviously — is CM Punk. Punk will be teaming with the OG Bloodline.”
The ongoing storyline features Heyman as a pivotal character, potentially bridging Punk and the Bloodline. Their last on-screen interaction occurred in June, when Heyman warned Punk of an attack by the new Bloodline and pleaded, “Take me with you.” A week later, Heyman was violently put through the announce table by the faction, leaving fans to wonder about his current allegiance.

As Survivor Series approaches, Punk’s involvement could provide the perfect twist for one of WWE’s most entertaining storylines. The unresolved tensions, coupled with Heyman’s mysterious absence, have set the stage for an explosive return that could redefine alliances and rivalries within the Bloodline saga. Fans eagerly await WWE’s next moves to confirm whether Punk will indeed step into the WarGames spotlight once again.

Audi’s busy adding to its roster of e-tron electric vehicles, and the latest to debut is the 2025 A6 e-tron, a sleek sedan with all of the brand’s cutting-edge technology. Audi expects EPA range to be as much as 390 miles per charge. The A6 e-tron is powered by a rear-mounted electric motor with 375 horsepower, while the A6 e-tron Quattro adds a second motor for all-wheel drive and bumps power to 456 ponies. If you want more, you’ll have to spring for the high-performance S6 e-tron, whose dual-motor powertrain produces a combined 543 hp. Unlike the gasoline-powered A6 sedan, the A6 e-tron hides a hatchback in its sloped rear roofline (making it a Sportback in Audi-ese), under which is a large cargo area similar to that of the current A7. Inside, there’s a full roster of infotainment features, plenty of standard amenities, and enough interior room for four adults to travel comfortably for long distances.
The A6 e-tron comes with a 375-hp electric motor driving the rear wheels, but the A6 e-tron Quattro comes with a dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup with 456 horsepower. The performance-oriented S6 e-tron boasts 543 horsepower, but we review that model separately. An air spring suspension system is optional and provides adaptive dampers with unique driving modes; it can also lower the A6 e-tron’s ride height for improved aerodynamic efficiency. When we drove the A6 e-tron, we found its driving dynamics to be ho-hum but appreciated its adjustable levels of regenerative braking capability.
According to Audi, the A6 e-tron can reach 62 mph in 5.2 seconds and the Quattro version can do it in 4.3. When we have the opportunity to test an A6 e-tron, we’ll update that number with real-world data.
A 94.4-kWh battery pack is expected to deliver an EPA range of 370 miles in the rear-wheel-drive A6 e-tron, with an available Ultra package stretching that to 390 miles. The all-wheel-drive version is estimated to bring an EPA range of 333 miles, or 375 with the Ultra package. (Although we’re still awaiting official EPA numbers.) DC fast-charging capability is standard, and Audi claims a max charging rate of 270 kilowatts. That means the A6 e-tron should be able to charge its battery from 10 percent to 80 percent of capacity in just 21 minutes.
