WWE RAWs Netflix debut was nothing short of monumental, and CM Punks showdown with Seth Rollins in the main event proved to be the icing on the cake. Held at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, on January 6, the event showcased what fans have been craving for yearshigh-stakes action and dream matchups.
The match between Punk and Rollins pushed both men to their limits. Rollins delivered a brutal Pedigree on the announce table, injuring his knee in the process, before hitting another one in the ring for a near fall. Punk eventually turned the tide, countering a top-rope move into his signature Go To Sleep finishernot once but twicefor a clean victory. Originally set for WrestleMania 40, this match finally saw the light of day, delivering on all fronts.
But it was Punks comments during the post-show press conference that really got people talking. When asked about the possibility of stepping into the ring with WWE legends The Rock or John Cena again, Punk didnt hold back.
I think I want gold around my waist, but both of those names come with big, fat paychecks, so Im not gonna say no to it, Punk said with a smirk. It could be interesting. I wouldnt say no to it. I mean, to the big, high-pressure money situationsthats when I come alive. I think I owe The Rock, I definitely owe John. I passed John Cena in the hallway. He looked a little tired. I think he needs to go to sleep.
Punks cheeky jab at Cena, paired with his openness to a potential showdown with either Cena or The Rock, has left fans buzzing with anticipation. These matches are not just pipe dreams; they could very well become reality, especially as WrestleMania season looms on the horizon.
Interestingly, Punk also revealed he might be considering a change to his iconic Go To Sleep finisher. Ive been driving my knee into peoples faces for years, and Im starting to feel bad about it. After taking a couple of those from Seth tonight, I can honestly say it sucks, Punk admitted, showing a rare moment of self-reflection.
While Punks focus seems to be on championship gold, his willingness to revisit rivalries with The Rock and John Cena adds a layer of intrigue to his future. Could these dream matches be coming sooner than expected? Only time will tell.
