CM Punk has handed Cody Rhodes a list of potential Survivor Series teammates, and it is fair to say he has taken a creative approach to recruitment.

Following their meeting with Rey Mysterio and Team Mexico’s newest addition, Rey Fenix, on SmackDown, Punk passed Rhodes his suggestions for Team USA. Rhodes later shared the list on social media, revealing a mix of wrestling legends, musicians and even a fictional killer.

Punk’s selections, complete with his recruitment notes, were:

• Hacksaw Jim Duggan

• Ken Patera

• 1987 Nikita Koloff (Do NOT get 1986 Koloff, would not fit group)

• Jason Vorhees (keep an open mind, loves America)

• Mr. America

• Bruce Springsteen (not Dickinson, NOT American)

• A.J. Lee (in red/white/blue bikini) – #1 pick but didn’t want to seem like I’m playing favorites

• The Patriot (not Dark or Tom Brandi)

• Es Gee Tee Slaughter

• ‘Taker w/Betsy Ross flag duster (his favorite)

• John Cena (not retired just need to pay $$$$)

AJ Lee received Punk’s top recommendation, although he placed her further down the list to avoid appearing to play favourites. He also suggested that enough money could bring John Cena into the fold, while insisting Rhodes recruit a very specific version of Nikita Koloff.

The tongue-in-cheek list gave fans plenty to enjoy, but Rhodes still has places to fill as Survivor Series approaches.

Rhodes currently has Punk and Je’Von Evans alongside him on Team USA. Across the ring, Team Mexico’s confirmed members are Mysterio, Penta and Fenix.

Who should Cody Rhodes recruit next, and which of Punk’s suggestions made you laugh the most? Let us know in the comments.
