CM Punk and Seth Rollins finally got their hands on each other with one man claiming a huge win in the first WWE Raw main event on Netflix.

After helping Roman Reigns to a win in WarGames at Survivor Series, CM Punk appeared on Raw and 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 the following weeks, the two men ended up in another wild brawl which led to a match being made between them for the first edition of Raw on Netflix.

CM Punk Beats Seth Rollins

That match headlined WWE’s landmark show and was Punk’s first match on Raw since he defeated Billy Gunn in January 2014. Punk and Rollins battled for almost 20 minutes as the hatred between them seethed out during the bout. In the end, CM Punk hoisted Rollins in the air for two Go To Sleeps to pick up the win.

AEW fans tuned into the show might have had flashbacks when they saw CM Punk’s jacket that he wore to the ring as it appears to be the same “XXX” emblazoned one that he wore for his ill-fated AEW All In match in 2023 that proved he last in the company. CM Punk was fired for a backstage altercation with Jack Perry at that show.
