In this article, we will look at four reasons why Team Punk lost the high-profile match at the San Diego event.


#4. To build The Vision

Since Seth Rollins departed The Vision, the faction hadn't done anything big until last night. Under the guidance of Paul Heyman, the group secured a massive win in the Men's WarGames Match and proved their credibility.

The creative team seemingly booked the heels to win to solidify The Vision's status as a top stable in the company.

#3. The heel side's last win in a WarGames Match came in 2022

The babyface team arguably has a better win-loss record than the heel team in WarGames matches. Last night, Team Rhea Ripley won the Women's WarGames bout, defeating the heels.

Before this year's Survivor Series, the last time a heel team won the Men's WarGames Match was in 2022, when The Bloodline emerged victorious. In San Diego, Triple H and Co. might have booked the villains to go over to break the two-year streak.

#2. To portray Brock Lesnar as an unstoppable force

Brock Lesnar delivered a dominant performance at WWE Survivor Series and destroyed almost everyone in the WarGames Match. The Beast Incarnate's presence greatly benefited the heel team and was a crucial reason behind Team Vision's victory at Survivor Series.

WWE's intention to book Brock Lesnar as an unstoppable competitor could be a significant reason behind the loss of Team CM Punk. A loss against the babyfaces would have hurt The Beast's momentum.

#1. To set the stage for Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes again in WWE

After suffering the loss, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes engaged in a heated face-off. The Original Tribal Chief also confirmed that this was the last time he worked with The American Nightmare.

Before this, Reigns and Punk shared a fist bump. This development hints that the OTC has issues with the Undisputed WWE Champion but not with The Second City Saint.

Since Rhodes was claiming to be the captain of the group, the loss at WarGames will escalate the heat between him and Reigns.
