The WWE universe has been abuzz with excitement and concern following Cody Rhodes’ move to SmackDown, leaving Monday Night RAW with a perceived lack of star power. The absence of top stars like Seth Rollins and Rhea Ripley due to injuries has only added to the concerns. However, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray believes he has a solution to balance the scales: put the World Heavyweight Championship on CM Punk.
According to Bully Ray, CM Punk is the only superstar capable of carrying the World Heavyweight Title and compensating fans for the loss of Cody Rhodes on RAW. Despite being out of action with an injury, Punk has continued to make waves on television, engaging in a fiery feud with Drew McIntyre. His involvement in McIntyre’s loss of the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania only added fuel to the fire.
Punk’s promos have kept his storyline with McIntyre alive, building anticipation for a future showdown. Meanwhile, McIntyre’s confrontation with Damian Priest on RAW has set the stage for a potential title shot in the coming weeks. With Priest currently holding the World Heavyweight Championship, the question on everyone’s mind is: will McIntyre emerge victorious and claim the title?
However, Bully Ray’s suggestion raises an intriguing possibility: what if CM Punk were to capture the World Heavyweight Championship instead? With Punk’s reputation as one of the most electrifying performers in WWE history, having him hold the title could be the spark that RAW needs to regain its momentum.
Moreover, a Punk title reign would provide a compelling narrative thread, given his ongoing feud with McIntyre and the build-up to their eventual clash. By putting the World Heavyweight Championship on CM Punk, WWE can create a sense of balance between RAW and SmackDown, ensuring that both brands have a strong, attention-grabbing champion at the helm.
Will WWE take Bully Ray’s advice and put the World Heavyweight Championship on CM Punk? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the prospect of Punk as champion has the potential to shake up the WWE universe in a major way.
