Welcome to the December 5, edition of the WWE News Roundup. Today's edition will cover an injury update on a top star, as well as on the masked man that interfered in the men's WarGames match, as well as a shocking update on CM Punk retiring.

Without any further delay, let's get into it.

4. Logan Paul offers update on the masked man

In a recent edition of his IMPAULSIVE podcast, Logan Paul claimed that the masked man at Survivor Series WarGames wore face paint even when he was backstage. Paul confirmed that he never saw the masked man's face, keeping his identity up for speculation:

"Not once did that person not have that mask on when I came out, I swear. Came out of the car wearing it."

3. The Vision's new member seemingly confirmed

At Survivor Series WarGames, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker were joined by Drew McIntyre, Brock Lesnar and Logan Paul. While Lesnar and McIntyre are not expected to continue with the faction, Paul seemingly confirmed himself as a new member of The Vision.

The former WWE United States Champion confirmed his spot in the faction while speaking on his IMPAULSIVE podcast:

“I think so. I think so. I understand that this is a business where, in a heartbeat, there can be betrayal and backstabs. Look, this industry is cutthroat, and I know people probably expected me to do some scummy shit with my current team, and I always got my eyes peeled, but I like the group of guys I’m currently aligned with in the Vision. We get along really well, not wrestling related, just behind the scenes.”

2. Penta offers update on shoulder injury

Penta recently injured his shoulder during his match with Solo Sikoa on WWE RAW. The Man With Zero Fear got hurt while performing a hurricanrana from the barricade onto the floor. The match had to be called off, and he hasn't been on programming since.

In an update on his Instagram, the former AEW star shared a video of him rehabbing his shoulder.

The former AEW World Tag Team Champion is expected to be cleared by Friday, as per an update from Doctor Odiseo. It remains to be seen when he will return to in-ring action.

1. CM Punk hints at WWE retirement in new video

CM Punk has had an incredible 2025, first accomplishing his goal of main-eventing WrestleMania, and then winning the World Heavyweight Championship twice. The Second City Saint defeated Jey Uso to win the title vacated by his rival, Seth Rollins, at Saturday Night's Main Event in November.

In a new YouTube video on WWE's channel, CM Punk broke down his looks over the years. While reminiscing about his first run with the company, he claimed that he was close to the end of his career.

"I mean, it's humbling, sobering maybe, to look back, you know, because I'm not done, but I definitely think the road to the end is a lot shorter than the road from here to when I started is, you know. I don't know how long I've got left, but looking back, I can definitely say like I had a good career, you know, I'm one of one," he said.

Punk is currently feuding with Bron Breakker of The Vision, and the two are set to battle for the World Heavyweight Championship on the January 5, edition of WWE RAW. It remains to be seen whether the Second City Saint can hold on to his title till WrestleMania.
