CM Punk will battle Seth Rollins in the Raw debut episode
After months of back-and-forth of displaying dismay against each other, CM Punk and Seth Rollins finally engaged in a feud following Punk’s return to the Red brand.
The Second City Saint took a hiatus from in-ring action after emerging victorious in the trilogy clash against Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood 2024. He made his return last month ahead of Survivor Series PLE along with Paul Heyman and joined the OG Bloodline.
Punk and the OG Bloodline emerged victorious in the men’s WarGames clash against Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline. CM Punk then appeared on the Red brand to celebrate his win and to decide his path forward. He was interrupted during the segment by Rollins which reignited the rivalry leading to a war of words.
The war of words changed into a physical altercation which then resulted in an announcement of their clash on January 6 on the debut episode of the Red brand on Netflix which will be telecasted from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.
Here we take a look at three reasons why the Second City Saint needs to win in his grudge match against Rollins next month.
3. To challenge Gunther for the title
The Second City Saint has expressed his desire to fight for the World Heavyweight title on multiple occasions since his return to the promotion in 2023. However, his injury at the 2024 Royal Rumble forced him out of action ahead of WrestleMania.
With a win over Rollins under the bright lights of the debut show, Punk can call out Gunther setting up their feud which would culminate in a title match. The Ring General has emerged as one of the most dominant forces in the promotion and a clash between the two would be an intriguing proposition for the fandom.

2. To main event WrestleMania
It is a dream for every pro wrestler who makes it to the WWE to headline WrestleMania, the biggest event in all of pro wrestling. CM Punk is no different than his peers and has even publicly shown his frustration with the promotion when he left the WWE in 2014 citing this as one of the reasons.
The Second City Saint was confident in his chances to headline the grandest stage by winning the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble. However, as mentioned earlier his dream got shattered as he tore his triceps. Punk could start his journey to main event the grandest stage after defeating Rollins.
The call out of Gunther would be a first step in this journey which would end in Punk realizing his dream to compete at the grandest stage in the main event.
1. To prove he is still the ‘Best in the World’
The Second City Saint’s clash with Rollins is deeply personal and the two have never held back in expressing their dismay and hatred towards each other. Rollins has also on multiple hinted that Punk is washed up and claimed that ‘Punk left WWE high and dry and returned after Rollins made it into what it is today’.
CM Punk needs the win not only to kick off his goal of headlining WrestleMania but also to prove that he is still the ‘Best in the World’. A win over a star such as Rollins after such a fierce feud would not only prove Punk’s ability but also solidify his position as a top contender for the Heavyweight title.
