WrestleMania 41 Preview? Seth Rollins vs CM Punk Set to Steal the Spotlight: REPORTS

WWE is pulling out all stops for the long-awaited premiere of Monday Night Raw on Netflix. The January 6th edition is expected to be historic, and a main event billed as CM Punk vs Seth Rollins has been long rumored to close the show, making this highly anticipated encounter a culmination of a years-long rivalry between two of the best in their sport. Punk and Rollins have a little history, having initially come up in Ring of Honor, where they formed a strong connection and fought against each other multiple times.
In theory, the history between CM Punk and Seth Rollins stretches back deep. Originally speculated to face Rollins at WrestleMania 40 to defend the World Heavyweight Championship, injury forced the withdrawal of CM Punk from the card. Without that match, the WWE remained keen to push the match talk, with each man turning his verbal spittle into explosive promos. On the latest episode of RAW, Punk addressed Rollins' hostility head-on, adding a rich layer of depth to their rivalry with a pertinent personal anecdote. Punk remembered mentoring 16-year-old Rollins for free; the irony does not escape that now this man whom he mentored shows aggression towards Punk.
“Now that entitlement I think has carried over into the adult Seth Rollins you know who wants to be the best in the world he wants to be on everybody’s top 10 list of the greatest of all time but I remember a time when he was on the top 10 list of people to be fired from this place and I shielded him from that you know, I guess if I have to live in my shadow I’d hate me too.”
“11 years ago I called him, I texted him, because I was a friend, and because I respected him and what he stood for, and what did I get back from Punk? Nothing, I got ghosted by CM Punk and it wasn’t just me it was every single person who was friends with Punk.”
While the match card for Raw on January 6th is yet to be announced, the possibility of a Punk-Rollins showdown already has fans abuzz and speculating about what will happen. We can expect nothing but heart-stopping surprises and memories that will be etched in time as WWE marks this historic occasion.
