Survivor Series is around the corner, and CM Punk has found his army to go up against Bron Breakker's team in the WarGames Match. His team consists of Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Roman Reigns. While every other superstar in Punk's squad holds a star power of their own and is a former or current world champion, many believe Big Jim doesn't fit into this mold.

Speculation has been mounting that Randy Orton could return and replace Jimmy Uso in the babyface team. The Vision could unleash a brutal backstage attack on the OG Bloodline member next week on RAW. The nature of the attack could be so severe that Adam Pearce might pull him out of the Men's WarGames Match, rendering him "medically uncleared" to wrestle.

As a result, it could pave the way for the legendary Orton to return to WWE. The Viper could join the babyface team in the WarGames Match at San Diego, aligning himself with CM Punk and Co. Triple H has pulled off some massive surprises and twists on the road to Survivor Series this year. Therefore, fans believe that The Apex Predator replacing Jimmy Uso is a real possibility.

Randy Orton's addition to the Men's WarGames will make it an absolutely star-studded team that would exude brilliance. The Viper has a history with almost all the participants, like Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Jey Uso, and Brock Lesnar. Besides, when it comes to WarGames, Orton has experience in competing inside the barbaric double-caged steel structure.

However, this is currently nothing more than speculation. While The Apex Predator replacing Jimmy Uso is surely an exciting prospect, the chances of it happening are relatively low.

CM Punk's team to suffer a big loss in their WarGames Match at Survivor Series?

There is no denying that CM Punk has some of the biggest stars of this company on his team for the WarGames Match. Despite that, his squad's victory at Survivor Series isn't guaranteed. There is a possibility that the babyface team might suffer a massive setback in their upcoming match in San Diego.

WWE has been booking The Vision as a dominant threat on the roster and the future of this industry. However, if they lose their WarGames Match despite making bold claims and showcasing their dominance every week, it could deal a major blow to their red-hot momentum.

Besides, the heel team consists of Brock Lesnar, who could potentially be the game-changer at Survivor Series. The Beast Incarnate could unleash havoc inside the barbaric double-caged structure and lead his team to victory. WWE handing Lesnar or his team a defeat sounds like a far-fetched scenario.

Hence, there is a high chance that CM Punk and Co. could suffer a huge setback in their WarGames Match this year at Survivor Series. However, this is mere speculation, and it all depends on what Triple H has in store.
