On the latest edition of RAW, CM Punk confronted Logan Paul after the latter knocked him out cold with his brass knuckles last week. The Maverick had The Vision with him on the show. Seeing Punk outnumbered by Paul Heyman's side, Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso came out to help The Best in the World.

Later, William Regal and Adam Pearce made it official that Punk, Rhodes, and Uso would team up at Survivor Series: WarGames against Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Logan Paul. It should be noted that both teams still need to add two more stars for WarGames.

However, the former United States Champion was allegedly replaced after he suffered a real-life injury and was written off TV.

"I think Cody Rhodes is replacing Jacob Fatu. I don’t have that confirmed, although I probably should by the morning, because he was not on the original list and Jacob Fatu was. And I was thinking they probably would have to replace Jacob Fatu," Meltzer said. [H/T: ITR Wrestling]
