A similar thing happened a few months ago when the Revolutionary got involved in The Bloodline storyline at WrestleMania XL. This time, Rollins has problems with both Drew McIntyre and CM Punk. Therefore, fans are waiting to see if he is going to be a fair official or whether he has planned some shenanigans for the bout.

Furthermore, Seth Rollins vowed to take revenge against the Straight Edge Superstar a few weeks ago. He warned the Voice of the Voiceless to stay away from his business. However, things have taken a different route, as now The Visionary is playing an important role in the first ever singles televised match of Punk in WWE in over a decade.
