After the shocking conclusion of Saturday Night’s Elimination Chamber PPV, the first RAW segment awaited the answers for the string of events that took place in the final moments of the event. The wait came to an end when an enraged CM Punk decided to kick things off after he was sour with how things ended in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match.
His dreams were turned into dust, thanks to his long and never-ending feud with Seth Freakin’ Rollins. Today, the Best in the World was not holding back as he decided to call out Rollins for costing him the match. The hate escalated with Punk calling out and bringing Becky Lynch into the picture, erupting the two into one of the craziest brawls taking place in RAW’s history.
CM Punk’s feud with Seth Rollins escalates to a whole other level
CM Punk, who finished the Elimination Chamber match as the first runner-up, was fuming after Seth Rollins decided to interfere in the match after getting eliminated by him. He was curb-stomped by Rollins, followed by John Cena locking him into an STF, where he felt it was better to pass out than tap out.
The Voice of the Voiceless decided to kick off WWE RAW by storming to the ring, addressing his enemies, where he would be accountable if Netflix cancels their golden deal with WWE for what he is about to say.
He commenced with Dwayne Johnson, calling him a “bald fraud” and how he’s not immune to criticism for being a part of the Board of Directors. He, then, mimicked The Final Boss’ gesture of slapping his hand to demonstrate goosebumps, calling it nothing but “bulls**t.” His second target was Cena, saying how he could see through him and how he gave up on himself a long time ago.
From stealing his opportunity to main event WrestleMania to selling fans “bulls**t,” everyone can see how Mr. Don’t Give Up never had a passion for wrestling, which he proudly claimed to have for over 2 decades. He warned the two “bald frauds” for having unfinished business and he would settle it before WrestleMania.
Lastly, he shifted his attention to the man who cost him the match, Seth Rollins. He called out his wife, Becky Lynch, and said how he would make her husband a cripple. He said,
Becky Lynch, you better come get your man because if I get to him before you do, I’m gonna put him in a wheelchair.
Just when he took the Visionary’s name, his music hit; Punk without wasting any time sprinted towards the entrance, where he took the fight to Rollins. Amidst the chaos, security and WWE officials made their way to the entrance to separate the two. While the officials managed to separate them, the pair broke free as they once again kicked and punched each other in the WWE Universe.
The fans approved of their beef, chanting, “This is awesome.” After their beef was settled, Rollins had a talk with Adam Pearce, the General Manager of WWE RAW, telling him, “I wanna finish it.” This made things easier for Pearce, sanctioning a Steel Cage Match next week at the Madison Square Garden.
The WWE Universe anticipates something big happening ahead of WrestleMania 41
After Punk’s promo and calling out his staunch enemy and his wife, the fans were on their feet, and the match announcement for next week heightened the emotions of the fans. A wrestling page (@WrestleOps) shared the words of Punk before hell broke down between them.
The fans resonated with their intertwining storyline with a thumbs up, with some believing that this marks the beginning of the return of AJ Lee at WWE. The fans commented,
This is like raw after wrestlemania

However, some fans were predicting that Lynch would make her return as a heel; after all, she was mentioned yet again in The Brahma Bull’s storyline, and how he was keeping two fingers up after Cena’s beatdown of Cody Rhodes.
WWE RAW can be streamed on Netflix.
