The animosity between Punk and Balor may not be contained within the rules of a standard one-on-one match. If things go out of hand, Adam Pearce may be forced to suspend The Second City Saint until WrestleMania 42.

The RAW General Manager was against booking Punk vs. Balor at the Elimination Chamber, as he feared it would jeopardize the highly anticipated ‘Mania main event between CM Punk and Roman Reigns.

If Punk and Balor take things too far on February 28, Pearce may have to make a firm decision. The match in Chicago between the bitter rivals could end in a heated brawl with no clear result, and the brutality could put Punk’s health in danger, something the RAW General Manager wouldn’t appreciate.

If that happens, to preserve the WrestleMania 42 main event between CM Punk and Roman Reigns, Adam Pearce could suspend the World Heavyweight Champion until The Show of Shows.

That said, this scenario is only based on speculation, and nothing has been confirmed. It remains to be seen what the Triple H-led creative team has in store for Elimination Chamber.

CM Punk has his sights set on another WWE title

CM Punk didn’t have a match at the Royal Rumble, but he was present in Riyadh during the event. The World Heavyweight Champion joined Big E and Wade Barrett on the panel during the Countdown to Royal Rumble.

During the show, Punk highlighted that he needed to win the United States Championship to become a Grand Slam Champion in WWE and put the current champion, Carmelo Hayes, on notice.

“I’ve done it all twice. The only thing I haven’t done is win the Royal Rumble… And there is a title out there that I need to win to be the, kind of, new age Grand Slam Champion. I think it might be the US Championship. So, Carmelo Hayes, coming for you,” Punk said.

It will be interesting to see if Punk and Hayes cross paths in the near future.
