The two stars are scheduled to clash on January 6
‘The Visionary’ Seth Rollins is scheduled for a grudge match against his fierce rival CM Punk in the debut episode of Monday Night Raw. The debut episode of the Red brand is set for January 6 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
Rollins and the Second City Saint are locked in a feud that reignited when Punk made his appearance on the Red brand after a win in the men’s WarGames at Survivor Series PLE.
The two stars have never shied away from expressing their hatred for each other in public and will now settle their differences inside the squared ring at the Intutit Dome.
Apart from this, two other matches are announced for the debut show, Liv Morgan will defend her Women’s World title against Rhea Ripley. Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa will lock horns in a tribal combat match where the sacred Ula Fala is on the line.

Seth Rollins took on Chad Gable at the WWE Holiday Tour in Chicago
The Visionary took on the leader of American-made Chad Gable at the Allstate Arena in CM Punk’s hometown of Chicago. This was the first match of the 12/29 live show at the Allstate Arena.
Although Gable gave tough opposition to the Visionary and tried to win the match, Rollins emerged on top and landed a brutal stomp from the top rope to pick up the win against the leader of American-Made.
Gable pushed Rollins to his limits during their match, applying the devastating ankle lock submission hold multiple times. The repeated applications took a toll on Rollins, seemingly injuring his leg, as he was visibly struggling with the pain and discomfort during the match.
However, it’s likely that Rollins was simply selling the injury to add drama to the match, rather than actually being hurt. The true extent of his condition remains uncertain, and fans will have to tune in to tonight’s episode of Raw to get a clearer update on his status.
