As Survivor Series War Games is about to go off the air, CM Punk, who had been fired from All Elite Wrestling nearly three months prior, makes his surprise return to WWE for the first time since the 2014 Royal Rumble, which enrages the World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin’” Rollins to the point where he has to held back by Michael Cole, Corey Graves and even Triple H. Punk is then attacked by a group of masked men, who reveal themselves to be Jon Moxley, Samoa Joe, Adam Cole and MJF.
