CM Punk Match To Headline WWE Raw’s Netflix Debut

CM Punk will be in action on Netflix.

After helping Roman Reigns to triumph in WarGames, CM Punk returned to Raw on December 2nd with renewed energy.

Punk cut a promo setting out his hopes for the future before being interrupted by Seth Rollins. The pair went back and forth on the microphone before things got physical. But just as things were getting really interesting the rivals were pulled apart.

In a pre-recorded interview the following week, Punk took several shots at Rollins claiming he stopped him from being fired earlier in his career.

While fans realised the spat was building to a match, its location appeared uncertain, until now.
