Seth Rollins demanded a favor on Raw (via @WrestleOps/X)
This week’s Raw was the fallout from CM Punk’s shocking revelation that he wants Paul Heyman in his corner at WrestleMania. The Wiseman stepped into the ring to reflect on his deep connections with both The Best in the World and Roman Reigns. However, Seth Rollins made his way, attempting to manipulate Heyman. When words didn’t work, The Visionary didn’t hesitate to lay his hands on the Hall of Famer.
The Visionary warned the WWE legend to withdraw from the situation between CM Punk and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Rollins made it clear—either Heyman steps away willingly, or he’d be forced to stomp and decimate him. Things nearly took a dark turn as Rollins prepared to stomp Heyman’s head. But in a surprising move, he spared him at the last moment, claiming that Heyman now owes him a favor.
Before Rollins demanded his favor, The Second City Saint rushed to the aid of his longtime friend. However, his efforts were in vain, as he too fell victim to The Visionary, taking a brutal stomp into the mat. With Punk laid out and Heyman now indebted, Rollins has put the entire WWE Universe on notice.

The real question is—what exactly will that favor be when WrestleMania 41 rolls around in Las Vegas? Rollins didn’t just threaten Heyman—he tried to manipulate him, reminding The Wiseman how both Punk and Reigns have repeatedly left him isolated. This time, The Visionary urged the Hall of Famer to think for himself, not for The Tribal Chief or The Best in the World.
CM Punk mocks Seth Rollins after Raw went off air last night
CM Punk had a rough night in Minneapolis on Monday Night Raw. After suffering a brutal beatdown from Seth Rollins, things went from bad to worse when A-Town Down Under blindsided him out of nowhere. Luckily, The Best in the World got a little unexpected help from American comedian Bert Kreischer, who was at ringside and stepped up to confront Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.
The Second City Saint quickly turned the tables on A-Town Down Under, delivering a brutal GTS to both members of the duo. To top it off, comedian Bert Kreischer joined the fun with a surprise chokeslam that left the crowd roaring. After the chaos, Punk picked up Seth Rollins’ jacket, threw it on, and hilariously mocked The Visionary’s signature mannerisms in the ring.
He even handed the jacket to Kreischer, who followed suit with his own spot-on impersonation. Last night, Rollins stood tall over Punk, and the latter would be looking to get his redemption on the former WWE Champion sooner rather than later. It is going to be interesting to see how things will unfold from here on out on the road to WrestleMania.
Paul Heyman to betray both CM Punk and Roman Reigns to join sides with Seth Rollins?
Paul Heyman finds himself caught in a difficult dilemma between two of his most significant allies—Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief who elevated his relevance in the modern era, and CM Punk, his long-time friend and trusted ally. However, in a shocking twist, The Wiseman might end up choosing neither. Instead, Heyman could align himself with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania.
With Heyman’s allegiance up in the air, most anticipate he’ll choose between Reigns or Punk. However, the WWE Hall of Famer could shock everyone by siding with Rollins instead, turning his back on both The Tribal Chief and The Best in the World to avoid any divided loyalty.
During the triple threat match, the legend might shock the world by attacking both Reigns and Punk with brutal chair shots, clearing the path for The Visionary to score a massive win. In a stunning twist, he could reveal that he had been secretly aligned with Rollins all along in the buildup to WrestleMania.
