WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins & CM Punk proved to be quite the draw during this week’s episode of Raw.
Since CM Punk’s return, Rollins has made it clear he’s not pleased to see the Best in the World back in WWE. Rollins’ reasoning is that for all of Punk’s talk about being ‘home’ the Chicago-Made wrestler had plenty of negative comments for WWE during his near-decade-long tenure away.
CM Punk and Seth Rollins Draw
On this week’s Raw, Punk and Rollins finally came face-to-face. Rollins warned Punk not to call WWE his home after spending 10 years trying to tear it down. Rollins also vowed to expose Punk as a fraud.
The segment between Punk and Rollins was by far the most-watched quarter-hour of this week’s episode of Raw, Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics reports. While Raw averaged 1.47 million viewers, the segment had 1.88 million viewers. Similarly, the segment did a 0.62 in the coveted 18-49 demographic, much higher than the show’s average of 0.46.
What’s Next for CM Punk?
CM Punk will make his return to the ring during the December 26, WWE live event in Madison Square Garden. In his first WWE match since January 2014, Punk will face ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio and will face Dominik again at an event on December 30.
On this week’s Raw, Punk declared himself for the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Punk is considered a favorite to win the match as is the only other confirmed entrant: Cody Rhodes.
