CM Punks WWE return at Survivor Series 2023 didnt just light up the wrestling worldit allgedly blew up creative plans for several stars waiting in the wings, including the NXT faction Gallus.
According to Wolfgang, one-third of Gallus, their main roster call-up was just weeks away before it was suddenly wiped off the board when Punk walked back through WWEs doors.
Speaking on the Mic Check with Mr. Anderson podcast, Wolfgang revealed that Gallus was primed and ready for the jump, and WWE had even positioned them for a storyline involving Drew McIntyreuntil everything changed.
Wolfgang pointed to clear signs that WWE had something serious in store for Gallus, citing their inclusion in official show materials when no other NXT talent was featured. He made it clear this wasnt just internal talkit was visible to fans if they looked closely.
Wolfgang believes that CM Punks return to WWE was the final nail in the coffin for their main roster introduction. He claimed the creative direction shifted instantly, and Gallus was left out in the cold.
Gallus mightve been gearing up for a big main roster storyline with one of WWEs top stars, but CM Punks return changed the gameand now theyre not even with the company. Sometimes the timing just isnt in your favor, and in this case, it looks like Gallus got left behind when the spotlight shifted.
