WWE fans can finally witness CM Punk and Seth Rollins step into the ring for an official match. On this week’s episode of WWE Raw, Adam Pearce announced that Punk will face Rollins during the first-ever episode of Raw on Netflix.
This marks the first time the two will wrestle since CM Punk’s surprising return to WWE at Survivor Series last year.
The announcement followed an intense opening segment on Raw. CM Punk kicked off the show by cutting a promo in the middle of the ring. He directly addressed Seth Rollins and the comments Rollins made about him last week.
Punk called Rollins out, saying it was foolish to think their paths would never cross again. With his usual confidence, Punk made it clear he would not back down from a fight and sent a challenge Rollins’ way.
Seth Rollins eventually responded. He made his entrance, but instead of heading to the ring, he chose to stand in the audience. From there, Rollins hurled insults at Punk and mocked him repeatedly. Rollins even referred to CM Punk by his real first name, “Phil,” which struck a nerve. The tension in the arena skyrocketed.
CM Punk did not hesitate to react. He left the ring, stormed up into the crowd, and went straight after Rollins. The two superstars immediately started brawling.
The fight was chaotic, spilling from the audience back toward the ringside area. Fans erupted in excitement as Punk and Rollins battled fiercely, refusing to let the other gain the upper hand.
It took multiple officials and referees to break the two men apart. WWE personnel worked hard to separate the superstars and calm the situation, but the damage had already been done. The fight showed that both men were ready to settle their differences inside the ring.
Later in the show, Seth Rollins confronted Adam Pearce backstage. Rollins was visibly angry and frustrated. He yelled at Pearce, demanding the match against Punk be made official. Rollins insisted that Pearce needed to step up and do his job.
The pressure from Rollins paid off, as Pearce eventually confirmed that the match would take place. Fans will get to see Punk and Rollins face off during the premiere episode of WWE Raw on Netflix.
The upcoming match is highly anticipated. CM Punk’s return to WWE has been one of the biggest moments in wrestling in recent years. At the same time, Seth Rollins has solidified himself as one of WWE’s top superstars, making this showdown even more exciting.
Additionally, WWE announced another major match for the Raw on Netflix premiere. Solo Sikoa will challenge Roman Reigns in a Tribal Combat Match for the Ula Fala. This adds even more drama and action to an already historic episode.
With CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa on the card, WWE is making sure the Raw debut on Netflix will be unforgettable. Fans will not want to miss this monumental night of wrestling action.
