CM Punk Faces Humiliation On WWE RAW

CM Punk came to WWE RAW on August 4 looking to exact revenge on Seth Rollins for his deception at SummerSlam.

He appeared during the main event match between Rollins and LA Knight for the championship. His attack cost Knight the match by disqualification.

It was followed by The Stomp by Rollins.

CM Punk’s title win at SummerSlam was his first in WWE in over eleven years. He had quit the promotion in 2014, citing creative differences.
