CM Punk Says Women’s WarGames Match Should Main Event WWE Survivor Series

CM Punk isn’t shy when it comes to speaking his mind, and ahead of WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, the current World Heavyweight Champion made it clear who he thinks deserves the main event slot—the women.

During an appearance on Up & Adams, Punk argued that the Women’s WarGames match has all the ingredients necessary to close out the show, even if he’s part of the marquee men’s match that fans assume will take top billing. That match features Punk, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Usos against Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. Despite the massive star power and championship gold involved, Punk still believes the women should take center stage.

Speaking about his wife AJ Lee’s return to the ring, Punk didn’t hold back his praise—or his preference.

“I’m a little biased. You know, my wife is obviously in that match, and I’m excited to watch it. I think the women should be the main event, you know, selfishly. I do probably think us guys will main event—there’s two titles involved, they’re not on the line, but star power is off the charts.”

Even with the men’s match packed with former and current champions, Punk feels the women’s bout can match that intensity and presence. AJ Lee will be teaming with Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, and Alexa Bliss against Team Nia Jax—which includes Becky Lynch, someone who shares a long and personal history with both Punk and AJ. Punk especially pointed to AJ finally getting to settle some old receipts. He also framed the team dynamic in a way only Punk could.

“AJ Lee coming back to wrestling and being in a cage match is a big deal. She gets to punch Becky Lynch in the face. I can only imagine how good that’s going to feel.”

“Iyo Sky, Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss—just a huge all-star, blue-eyed, babyface dream team… It’s almost like The Breakfast Club. They have their Bender, they have their Princess, they have their nerd, they have their jock, and they have their crazy goth—Rhea Ripley. There’s just something about that team.”

Punk’s comments weren’t just about personal pride. They were about spotlighting what he believes is the bigger story—AJ Lee’s return, a stacked team of fan favorites, and the potential to shake up tradition by giving the main event to the women.

Whether or not WWE pulls the trigger on putting the women last remains to be seen, but Punk has made his vote loud and clear.
