“The Best in the World” CM Punk made a surprising WWE return at Survivor Series after a 9-year hiatus. This shook the WWE Universe. However, not everyone welcomed Punk back with open arms, especially World Heavyweight Champion Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins. The fans in attendance were clearly captured at the fuming Visionary after the event.

In the recent WWE Preview Special show interview, Punk openly acknowledged Rollins’ growth and impact. However, he also threw shades at him. Moreover, the former WWE Champion claimed that without him fans wouldn’t see Rollins prosper into the caliber of the star he is today.

When The Second City Saint signed with Raw, Rollins rudely interrupted him. The Architect firmly stated that WWE could never be Punk’s home after all the shots he took at the company. The latter fired back, declaring his entry into the Men’s Royal Rumble match and dropping a subtle hint about eyeing Rollins’ title.

In fact, there’s no denying that without the help of the Voice of the Voiceless, we wouldn’t have witnessed the iconic Shield debut back in 2012. Anticipation among fans is high as they eagerly await this intense rivalry.

After all, WrestleMania might witness a headline-grabbing showdown, fulfilling the Best in the World’s longstanding dream of winning the main event. Punk is set to return on Raw next week, promising more controversy in this riveting saga.

Speculating the possible ending to CM Punk vs Seth Rollins.

Given the current build-up, WWE could be eyeing a significant main event. There’s a strong possibility of a WrestleMania clash between CM Punk and Seth Rollins. Both wrestlers carry equal momentum heading into the Royal Rumble, with Rollins successfully defending his title against Drew McIntyre on Raw Day 1. Fans are eagerly speculating about the WWE’s direction, heading towards Mania.

WWE could go in various directions for Rollins vs. Punk. One possibility is The Straight Edge Superstar triumphing over The Architect to secure the World Heavyweight Championship. However, Damian Priest, who is currently holding the Money in the Bank briefcase, shouldn’t be forgotten.

A monumental scene could occur if Priest cashes in the MITB contract at WrestleMania, further solidifying Judgement Day in WWE. It may be too early for predictions, but with professional wrestling, anything is possible.
