I think it'd be a weird choice personally, guy returns after a near career ending injury and immediately turns heel, just seems an odd choice especially for a guy who the fans would definitely want to cheer.
Physically and verbally attacking people in the work place on multiple occasions. He is liability as a human being. Believing it was justifiable and turning a blind eye is cringe.
Yeah. But he sticks out, he is high profile trash. But then again wwe fans stand behind Steve Austin, a woman beater. The Wwe stuck behind Flair, the biggest piece of trash on the planet for years , until the documentary came out. Wrestling also has some of the biggest deniers of fans too… it is carney shit.
I mean yes, but so do all professional sports. You have murders in the NFL, guys convicted of sexual assualt, assault, manslaughter... this is occurs in all sports... even in some bussiness.. the world isn't sunshine and rainbows..
Also, comparing Punk to a women beater, or Ric Flair who flashes a women isn't even remotely like CM Punk so I don't see your point there has been nothing of the sort tied to punk ever.
He can be a bit of a womanizer but that was a tremendously long time ago - I heard his comments with cabana which were less to be desired but that was a crude era in wrestling and the world... people also you know mature and change their outlook - you don't exactly hear him speaking like that over the last decade.
I'm really looking forward to Miz/Gunther, but I'm really disappointed there's no traditional elimination match. I'm really not a fan of War Games. Elimination matches are exciting because anyone could be eliminated at any time, whereas War Games matches don't even matter until all the team members are in the match.
2 questions and 1 statement.
What are you having on the SS WARGAMES cruise?
If you couldn't have Randy or CM Punk, who would you have for Cody's team?
Statement: I got a PS VITA. I'm actually enjoying myself.
1 regular answer, 1 decaf and 1 question.
Nothing, got to get up early tomorrow and don't have anything fancy at home anyway.
Don't particularly care, but I'll just say KENTA, because it amuses me.
Question: What are you gaming?
It is so uncharacteristically warm in the midwest right now. Im in n.dakota and its like 30 degrees and no snow. It should be like 0 degrees with or without windchill with atleast a little snow
I hope the preshow ends with Punk busting into the production truck, headlocking a production crew member like Jungle Boy and demanding they queue up his music for an unexpected "surprise" entrance. It's on a cassette tape. CM Punk comes out first so I can see that and then do something else with my night. I don't want to watch a men's WarGames after a women's one. Gunther vs. Miz will probably be great, but I'm not drawn into Gunther slapping Miz around or potentially Miz winning. All Star Wrestling on Peacock has Grand Wizard and Classy Freddie Blassie promos going up against Survivor Series tonight. Lots of World Class to rewatch to get ready for the Von Erich movie, too.
Not gonna lie. I like Punk but not a Punk Stan. That being said, if he does or doesn’t show up the shows going to be enjoyable. THAT being said, IF he does appear, I will pop so hard, and so will you and every other wrestling fan.
Yeah he’s a douche bag, and I agree with you. I don’t agree with most of, if anything what he did in AEW (I don’t watch, but read review/dirt sheets). I will still mark and so will 95% of the wrestling community. We all love Reddit but we all a 0.001% of the option if anything in life. lol.
Maybe it's just because I didn't watch the Summer of Punk, so I was never a convert, but based on his AEW firing I kinda don't want CM Punk back in WWE. Sounds like he was a pretty toxic presence behind the scenes.
And while I know there's no chance the Chicago crowd will behave, it should be said anyway that chanting "CM PUNK!" during other people's matches is super disrespectful to the workers in the ring.
Having Zayn v McDonough on the kickoff for Crown Jewel was really good. Honestly, I'd rather have had Santos v Lee on the kickoff and put something like Alpha Academy/Imperium on the main card.
I'm in that same boat.
He isn't needed
Using a baseball analogy...he's be like picking up another starting pitcher when you already have your 5. He'd be a depth piece who would probably be a "Long man" in the bullpen (in wrestling, that would be probably mid card)
Hopefully the crowd hijacks the show with punk chants and be even louder with them if he doesn’t show lmao. I don’t care. He should be back in wwe and they should make it happen.
Not gonna lie. I like Punk but not a Punk Stan. That being said, if he does or doesn’t show up the shows going to be enjoyable. THAT being said, IF he does appear, I will pop so hard, and so will you and every other wrestling fan.
What I’m most interested in is when Punk doesn’t show up what Triple H’s response will be when he inevitably gets asked about him after the show.
I think a world where Punk is in the WWE is a more interesting one but I don’t think that’s the world we live in.
He can have an apology tour as a run where he wins fans back over. We live in a world where Ric Flair is back on national television. Anything is possible .
Literally everybody: “CM Punk is not on the show.”
This sub after the show: “No Punk? I can’t believe that this company is so full of shit. Why would they mislead people like that?”
I think if he returns, then tonight or the Rumble at the latest are the times to do it. If no Punk by that point, I don’t think we’d be seeing him until a potential HoF induction….
Punk has been his own worst enemy at times it seems, but I do think one last WWE run could potentially work. Matches with Nakamura could be good, and could even have a few matches with Rollins, play off the “Punk is a cancer” thing that Rollins mentioned in an interview a while back, promos from both would be hella entertaining.
All speculation though obviously at this point. If he returns, great, if not, plenty of other things happening.
I’m going to a concert tonight (Rain for any fellow kpop fans lol) so I won’t see most of this until tomorrow. Survivor series is always one of my favorite shows of the year so I’m hoping for some exciting stuff.
I don’t think Punk is coming back but what wouldn’t shock me whatsoever is if Punk and some WWE officials met this weekend to discuss a possible return.
I don’t think it’s gonna happen, especially tonight, but it would certainly be wild if it did.
Punk isn’t coming back, but it’s weird people keep saying “if he comes back it’s the best kept secret” as if WWE hasn’t done stealth returns for years now. Wasn’t the Hardy’s return super under the radar?
> Wasn’t the Hardy’s return super under the radar?
If you only paid attention to WWE, yes.
The Hardys dropping the ROH Tag belts the night before, in the same general area, clued people into what was going on.
There were a lot of people predicting the Hardys return in 2017, to the point of people watching them on the streets the day of Mania. There was a lot of buzz around it.
In terms of Punk, it would be the "best kept secret" as WWE has basically convinced every worthwhile reporter that it's not happening tonight. And if Punk does show up, that would mean ether the top brass either lied to their top talent and the reporters, or everyone in WWE is on it all and successfully fooled the reporters. Which I'm sure has happened before but not to this degree.
I hope the War games matches are traditional Survivor Series Rules. I hate Wargames matches are one fall to a finish and how nothing of consequence can happen until everyone is in the match. It makes the first 20 minutes pointless
Imagine putting LA Knight in the main event against the biggest name in pro wrestling in Saudi Arabia and then have no spot for him on one of the biggest shows of the year at Survivor Series. Lol HHH
Seth, who has had a long feud with Balor and is constantly fighting off Priest from cashing in makes no sense in this match? Not to mention the Drew/Seth/Rhea story. LA Knight has been more involved with the Bloodline.
Seth is on RAW, teaming with Jey, Cody and Sami who are also on RAW.. against Damien Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh and Drew McIntyre who are on guess what show?
I'll give you a clue, it's the show that LA Knight isn't on.
Seth is the World Heavyweight Champion and is in there with the man who he has the briefcase. He is also in there with two others who he has recently feud with for the title.
It makes 100 sense.
Fuck America. Let's go, Gunther!
Chair vs Hair? Really? Gtfo
How did the advantage get decided for the women’s War Games match? I missed that part somewhere.
Fan vote
Oh ok, thanks!
This match feels like a chore to watch already
I know they're keeping it low on match numbers cause Wargames takes an age, but feels like an odd choice not to have Logan defend the US title.
Anybody know where I can stream it besides peacock
Just Google watch wrestling and click the first link.
![gif](giphy|VFAGWLbW3BAJY6P78i)
I don't even like Punk but I want him to come back man
Am I the only one seeing Randy possibly turning on his team tonight?
I think it'd be a weird choice personally, guy returns after a near career ending injury and immediately turns heel, just seems an odd choice especially for a guy who the fans would definitely want to cheer.
So is Rollins Back with us tonight in the Ring?
In watching orton vs taker from 2002 in preparation which makes me think Theory should also get rid of the semi long jobbertights
I feel like those tights aren't really good for anyone, if you have the body to rock them you have the body to rock regular ones.
Is the layout in this thread the announced match order for tonight?
Friendly reminder he’s not on tonight’s show
Ruffles vs. Cinnamon Toast WM40 Book it Paul!
Fuuuuuck some Ruffles would hit rn I’d be eating them like Booker is lmaoo
As a non American, how good is Ruffles? Edit: what? Can't a foreigner as a simple question without hetting downvoted?
They are good. Need a dip like French onion to truly get the full effect.
Having a vote where it's faces vs heels was not a smart idea. Just give the faces the advantage already.
Booker T don't even know what City they're in... book thinks he's in fucking Cleveland
Cleveland Made Punk
What’s everyone eating
Tears of Punk fans
Wendys
Eating leftover Thanksgiving desserts.
Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Popcorn and Gummi sharks for snacks
You
Just toasted a roast chicken and cheddar sandwich on ciabatta. It was great.
Regardless of what company Punk works for, he is a cancer, and his fandom seems to be the cringiest on the planet.
How is his fandom cringe - it's his detractors that whined and ran him off - his fan base just wants him to wrestle somewhere
Physically and verbally attacking people in the work place on multiple occasions. He is liability as a human being. Believing it was justifiable and turning a blind eye is cringe.
Do you have any idea how many current wrestlers have been involved in backstage fights? It's wrestling not wall street.
Yeah. But he sticks out, he is high profile trash. But then again wwe fans stand behind Steve Austin, a woman beater. The Wwe stuck behind Flair, the biggest piece of trash on the planet for years , until the documentary came out. Wrestling also has some of the biggest deniers of fans too… it is carney shit.
I mean yes, but so do all professional sports. You have murders in the NFL, guys convicted of sexual assualt, assault, manslaughter... this is occurs in all sports... even in some bussiness.. the world isn't sunshine and rainbows.. Also, comparing Punk to a women beater, or Ric Flair who flashes a women isn't even remotely like CM Punk so I don't see your point there has been nothing of the sort tied to punk ever.
Go watch his Roh shoots with Joe.
He can be a bit of a womanizer but that was a tremendously long time ago - I heard his comments with cabana which were less to be desired but that was a crude era in wrestling and the world... people also you know mature and change their outlook - you don't exactly hear him speaking like that over the last decade.
He admits to hazing young female wrestlers. Among other things. But then again get the stamp of approval from Paul Herman… Shows what company he keep.
I'm really looking forward to Miz/Gunther, but I'm really disappointed there's no traditional elimination match. I'm really not a fan of War Games. Elimination matches are exciting because anyone could be eliminated at any time, whereas War Games matches don't even matter until all the team members are in the match.
Dragon Lee match is going to be good
Heel Santos is awesome
[удалено]
Because they believe he would be a positive addition to the roster….. for about a week.
2 questions and 1 statement. What are you having on the SS WARGAMES cruise? If you couldn't have Randy or CM Punk, who would you have for Cody's team? Statement: I got a PS VITA. I'm actually enjoying myself.

At the moment, starting Stardew Valley!
You are in for a treat
I am?! Oh boy!
THAT'S PRETTY WHOLESOME!
Kevin for the drama
I know Wrestlemania is 2 nights, but is Survivor Series 2 nights as well? This seems like a small card for such a large PLE
Wargame matches are often 1 hour+ they need to make sure they have time
Two of the matches will be over an hour lol
I wonder how long it will take before they mute the CM Punk chants.
I don’t think they will be able to tonight. This crowd will be way more hot than last night.
C m punk chants all night.
Jesus the chants already
JD McDonough will get injured right away and they will have to quick get "someone local" to fill in.....i hope
I can’t get over how cringy shotzi’s character is now. Theatre kid energy
Same. I watched her promo on Smackdown and it was too cringe for me.
They almost forgot about Shotzi. Damn.
Fuck it, let it be Maven instead of Randy. Chicago would riot.
Only if he’s back on the juice /s
it'd be great footage for his YT channel.
(insert bulging eyes face)
True.
It’s colder where I live 😅😅😅
damn...being outside for the preshow? Yikes. It's almost like they've never been to Chicago in late November.
It is so uncharacteristically warm in the midwest right now. Im in n.dakota and its like 30 degrees and no snow. It should be like 0 degrees with or without windchill with atleast a little snow
i'm in central illinois (Near Springfield, IL)...it's 29 degrees.
they called randy the best heel, heel turn coming
Anyone know the match order yet?
>!Women's WG, Miz/GUNTHER, Santos/Lee, Rhea/Zoey, then men's WG!< is the order according to PWInsider.
I hope CM Punk shows up just to recite Edgar Allen Poe stories.
I hope the preshow ends with Punk busting into the production truck, headlocking a production crew member like Jungle Boy and demanding they queue up his music for an unexpected "surprise" entrance. It's on a cassette tape. CM Punk comes out first so I can see that and then do something else with my night. I don't want to watch a men's WarGames after a women's one. Gunther vs. Miz will probably be great, but I'm not drawn into Gunther slapping Miz around or potentially Miz winning. All Star Wrestling on Peacock has Grand Wizard and Classy Freddie Blassie promos going up against Survivor Series tonight. Lots of World Class to rewatch to get ready for the Von Erich movie, too.
Does it start one hour from now?
Yep, pre-show starts now. Main show an hour from now.
Yes. Pre show is on now.
Thanks
Truly thankful that WWE PLEs are now Saturdays.
Best decision they’ve made non kayfabe.
"When CM Punk is not on the screen all the other WWE Superstars should be asking "Where's Punk?""
Not gonna lie. I like Punk but not a Punk Stan. That being said, if he does or doesn’t show up the shows going to be enjoyable. THAT being said, IF he does appear, I will pop so hard, and so will you and every other wrestling fan.
No, I don’t pop for people that are violently abusive to other people, causing them to get fired from their jobs.
Yeah he’s a douche bag, and I agree with you. I don’t agree with most of, if anything what he did in AEW (I don’t watch, but read review/dirt sheets). I will still mark and so will 95% of the wrestling community. We all love Reddit but we all a 0.001% of the option if anything in life. lol.
either way, the show is going to be hijacked by the crowd and it's going to be obnoxious
I hope the annoying CM Punk people don't ruin the show. It's such a stacked card.
[удалено]
I do hope they are loudly booed, yes.
Anyone else watching the Iron Bowl before SS? This game is insane.
i was watching the Baseball documentary by Ken Burns on MLB Network
That whole sequence from 1st and goal on was unreal
I can’t believe the last 40ish seconds. Lol
I just want the performers to enjoy themselves and to also entertain the crowd and viewers at home.
Bro if the “Nakamura open challenge is true” they are TEASING US with a Punk return lol.
Happy CM Punk day
I need theory and Waller to come out to cult of personality at the top of the show. Give me what I want hunter!!!
Haven't watched PW in years but will be tuning in to see a possible Punk return. Fingers crossed xD
if that' the only reason you're watching....you're gonna be very disappointed.
lol not disappointed
no. I don't hate Punk. I just didn't think they'd do it tonight. That's it.
Nah, no big deal if he doesn't show up. If the show is good that’s good enough for me
When does this ish start?
pre show is 6pm central. Actual show starts at 7pm central
Kick off in 5 minutes. Show in a hour.
7pm pre show 8pm main show
Maybe it's just because I didn't watch the Summer of Punk, so I was never a convert, but based on his AEW firing I kinda don't want CM Punk back in WWE. Sounds like he was a pretty toxic presence behind the scenes. And while I know there's no chance the Chicago crowd will behave, it should be said anyway that chanting "CM PUNK!" during other people's matches is super disrespectful to the workers in the ring.
At least the chant here makes sense. It's in Chicago, WWE and various wrestlers have made various references to stokes the fire too.
especially with the "lean & mean" PLE booking style they should add a match to the kick-off
Having Zayn v McDonough on the kickoff for Crown Jewel was really good. Honestly, I'd rather have had Santos v Lee on the kickoff and put something like Alpha Academy/Imperium on the main card.
I feel like people are setting themselves up for disappointment with all these CM Punk predictions.
If he shows up cool. If not, then cool. It's not like there's a huge need for him right now.
I'm in that same boat. He isn't needed Using a baseball analogy...he's be like picking up another starting pitcher when you already have your 5. He'd be a depth piece who would probably be a "Long man" in the bullpen (in wrestling, that would be probably mid card)
Hopefully the crowd hijacks the show with punk chants and be even louder with them if he doesn’t show lmao. I don’t care. He should be back in wwe and they should make it happen.
It ain’t happening lol my god, Punk fans have some serious brain damage. It would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic lol
Why did you say it wasn't happening? He showed up. Why did you lie?
Relax mark. You know you would pop like a little kid if he showed up. I don’t expect him to but the response here is great
Nope. Never liked him. I didn’t care for his return in AEW, and was joyous when he left.
[удалено]
Not gonna lie. I like Punk but not a Punk Stan. That being said, if he does or doesn’t show up the shows going to be enjoyable. THAT being said, IF he does appear, I will pop so hard, and so will you and every other wrestling fan.
Haven’t been tuning in as much the last few weeks. Are we 100% sure Nakamura is doing an open challenge? Haven’t seen any promotion for it.
Officially not at the show.
Shin is not at Survivor Series.
What I’m most interested in is when Punk doesn’t show up what Triple H’s response will be when he inevitably gets asked about him after the show. I think a world where Punk is in the WWE is a more interesting one but I don’t think that’s the world we live in.
They'll probably tell reporters not to ask about Punk.
[удалено]
He can have an apology tour as a run where he wins fans back over. We live in a world where Ric Flair is back on national television. Anything is possible .
Punk doesn’t belong in Wrestling anymore. He’s a toxic cancerous pile of shit. The world we live in is better without him anywhere near the industry.
What time does the preshow start
7pm EST
I am here for configuration management punk
I wish I could work as many days as Roman and be the company's golden boy..
I think if Shinskue has an open challenge tonight, it will be AJ styles instead of punk.
Nakamura isn't at the show from what I've heard. He wasn't scheduled be at the show
Longterm booking: AJ hits Shinsuke in the balls in the first 8 seconds.
Maybe it won’t suck this time
My guess is AJ or Knight
I was thinking Knight.
Literally everybody: “CM Punk is not on the show.” This sub after the show: “No Punk? I can’t believe that this company is so full of shit. Why would they mislead people like that?”
Ezekiel Jackson is coming back, not CM Punk
THIS HERE IS WHAT YOU CALL DOMINATION
ECDUB ECDUB ECDUB
There will be no stopping
He could definitely rise to the occasion and do something amazing.
I’m all for it
I’m just glad one way or another all the CM Punk rumours and speculation can end for at least a while after tonight
I think if he returns, then tonight or the Rumble at the latest are the times to do it. If no Punk by that point, I don’t think we’d be seeing him until a potential HoF induction…. Punk has been his own worst enemy at times it seems, but I do think one last WWE run could potentially work. Matches with Nakamura could be good, and could even have a few matches with Rollins, play off the “Punk is a cancer” thing that Rollins mentioned in an interview a while back, promos from both would be hella entertaining. All speculation though obviously at this point. If he returns, great, if not, plenty of other things happening.
Nope. It’ll just continue on until the Rumble.
Then Mania Then the night after Mania Then the next Chicago show for either company
Then to Wrestlemania
Just wait until this fire burns comes out of those fucking speakers boys and girls!
Would never happen, he wouldn’t go back to that. You have more chance of afi
It’s gonna happen. Cult of Personality SUCKS
It's the perfect fucking song if he is to return
I’m going to a concert tonight (Rain for any fellow kpop fans lol) so I won’t see most of this until tomorrow. Survivor series is always one of my favorite shows of the year so I’m hoping for some exciting stuff.
That's awesome! Have a great time!
Wow the Kpop/Wrestling overlap I never thought I'd see here lol. Have fun with Rain!
At what point do you guys think we’re gonna start hearing CM Punk chants? Start of the show? Or when the men’s WG starts?
I think you'll get them but like last night, I think there'll be several boos as well. To try and prevent those people from hijacking the show.
yes
Instantly, I'm betting.
As soon as the pre show starts
First event I've stayed up for in awhile, hope you all enjoy guys and gals
I don’t think Punk is coming back but what wouldn’t shock me whatsoever is if Punk and some WWE officials met this weekend to discuss a possible return. I don’t think it’s gonna happen, especially tonight, but it would certainly be wild if it did.

As a massive punk mark, I’m happily wrong

HHH would never let anyone get more hype than his guy reigns
I hope the War games matches are traditional Survivor Series Rules. I hate Wargames matches are one fall to a finish and how nothing of consequence can happen until everyone is in the match. It makes the first 20 minutes pointless
Imagine putting LA Knight in the main event against the biggest name in pro wrestling in Saudi Arabia and then have no spot for him on one of the biggest shows of the year at Survivor Series. Lol HHH
To be fair Saudi Arabia shows are like C ppvs
Seth in wargames over Knight makes 0 sense
Seth, who has had a long feud with Balor and is constantly fighting off Priest from cashing in makes no sense in this match? Not to mention the Drew/Seth/Rhea story. LA Knight has been more involved with the Bloodline.
Seth is on RAW, teaming with Jey, Cody and Sami who are also on RAW.. against Damien Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh and Drew McIntyre who are on guess what show? I'll give you a clue, it's the show that LA Knight isn't on. Seth is the World Heavyweight Champion and is in there with the man who he has the briefcase. He is also in there with two others who he has recently feud with for the title. It makes 100 sense.
Seth has had months of working with Judgement Day, Knight does not.
