WWE made a blockbuster announcement mere seconds after CM Punk was revealed as the fifth member of Roman Reigns' WarGames team on the latest episode of SmackDown. A brand-new Punk custom championship belt has been announced for sale on WWE's official shop.

Punk is one of the biggest merchandise sellers in WWE at present. He has been selling tons of merchandise since making his iconic return at the Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 Premium Live Event.

During the latest episode of SmackDown, Paul Heyman revealed CM Punk as the fifth member of the OG Bloodline's WarGames team. Seconds later, WWE made the following announcement on X/Twitter:

The custom championship belt is priced at a whopping $699 on WWE's official shop. Many fans on X/Twitter complained about the hefty price of the belt but it is likely going to be sold out in no time, judging by Punk's popularity.

The Best in the World and The Original Tribal Chief were rivals during the former's previous WWE run. Now that the two megastars are going to team up together, fans cannot wait to see what unfolds at the Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 Premium Live Event.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
