In the world of WWE, surprises and unexpected twists are the bread and butter of every storyline. As wrestling fans eagerly anticipate WWE Fastlane, the element of unpredictability is once again at the forefront. The marquee match set for the event involves John Cena and AJ Styles teaming up to face Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso of The Bloodline, Roman Reigns’ formidable faction. However, the road to Fastlane has been filled with its fair share of shocks and surprises.
The stage for this high-stakes tag team battle was set in motion when AJ Styles intervened during The Grayson Waller Effect segment, coming to the aid of John Cena. This alliance between two of WWE’s most iconic stars was a beacon of hope for those hoping to thwart The Bloodline’s dominance. However, in the unpredictable world of professional wrestling, anything can happen, and this week’s SmackDown proved just that.
Moments before the contract signing for the impending battle at Fastlane, Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso unleashed a ferocious assault on AJ Styles, leaving him incapacitated and requiring immediate medical attention. This abrupt and shocking turn of events left John Cena without a partner for the impending showdown, raising questions about who would fill AJ Styles’ shoes.
Originally, the plan was for LA Knight to stand alongside Cena as his tag team partner, forming a formidable duo against The Bloodline. However, the fickle nature of live events intervened, as Knight tested positive for COVID-19, necessitating a change in plans. With Styles and Knight seemingly out of the Fastlane equation, the WWE Universe was left in suspense, pondering who might be the chosen one to share the ring with John Cena.

Amidst the speculation and uncertainty, one name emerged as a tantalizing possibility: CM Punk. The mere mention of Punk’s name sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe. The Second City Saint’s recent release from AEW has fueled rampant speculation about a potential WWE return, and the timing seems serendipitous for this dramatic storyline twist. A Cena-Punk alliance to take on The Bloodline would undoubtedly be a headline-making moment.
The anticipation surrounding Cena’s mystery partner at Fastlane has reached a fever pitch. The WWE Universe is rife with theories, possibilities, and hopes as they await the revelation of the chosen one. Will it be a returning CM Punk, making an iconic comeback to the WWE? Only time will unveil the answer to this exhilarating mystery.
