WWE Raw on Netflix this Monday was a rendezvous of Hollywood celebrities in Los Angeles. Kieran Culkin was sitting front-row and had a special moment with CM Punk. The latter beat Seth Rollins in a heart-pounding affair. After Punk exited the ring, he bumped into the Succession star, as seen below in the clip shared by WWE.
Culkin said he’s a massive fan of Punk. The Best in the World then asked about the actor’s memorable night at the Golden Globes 2025, where he won the award for Best Supporting Performance for his comedy-drama film, A Real Pain. Kieran was quick to congratulate the 46-year-old Chicagoan for his big win over Rollins.
The former AEW star had to give his all to put away Seth. There were instances during the match where it felt like both men were at the mercy of each other. At the end, it was The Second City Saint who held onto his breath and got the job done. As he was heading back, Punk caught up with Jackie Redmond and put Cody Rhodes & Gunther on notice.
The Straight Edge Superstar has declared himself for the 30-man Royal Rumble match. He now joins a field of top guns including John Cena, Jey Uso, and LA Knight. Even though Punk is looking forward to winning another world title in WWE, he’s aware that he might not be done with Rollins just yet.
During the post-show, The Voice of the Voiceless alluded to the fact that Seth wouldn’t simply accept the loss he incurred on Raw. Prior to their ‘years-in-the-making’ contest, The Architect talked a good game. Referring to Punk as a cancer, Rollins vowed to cut it out but failed. It’d be interesting to see how Seth copes with the setback.
CM Punk reacts to heartbreaking losses of Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade on NXT
There’s no doubting that CM Punk has shrugged off the initial ring rust he had after returning to WWE in November 2023. He’s off to better things this year and would hope to fulfill his lifelong dream of headlining a WrestleMania.
Apart from ensuring his own well-being, Punk takes great pride in keeping an eye on how his “wrestling daughters” are doing. They’re none other than Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade. However, both of them had a forgettable NXT: New Year’s Evil this Tuesday.
Perez lost to Giulia, ending her NXT Women’s title reign at 276 days. Moreover, Jade lost a fatal 4-way bout that could’ve earned her a shot at the NXT Women’s North American title. Punk reposted a photo with them on Instagram, saying he was smiling because he was proud of them.
