There was no shortage of action, as both men pushed their bodies to the limit to become the victor. In the end, CM Punk stood tall as the winner. On the <em><strong>WWE Monday Night Raw<\/strong><\/em> after <em>Bad Blood<\/em>, CM Punk cut an emotional promo, thanking various groups of people as he painted a vague picture of his future. <strong>Seth Rollins<\/strong> came out and stared him down, reminding everyone that he\u2019d be waiting when Punk came back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However long his hiatus may be, it\u2019ll likely end with him and Rollins face-to-face in the ring.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ddqn1K7FjHk?si=ld3gkygsCBW9OS9S\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>CM Punk Deserves His Rest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After over two months of fighting Drew McIntyre, it\u2019s fair to say that we won\u2019t be seeing Punk anytime soon. The pain and suffering sustained in a Hell in a Cell match can linger for weeks and sometimes even months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking Punk off TV to heal and rest up will only build anticipation for his eventual match with Rollins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This rivalry started when Punk stepped foot back into WWE at<em><strong> Survivor Series<\/strong><\/em> last year. Rollins had a meltdown after seeing him walk out of the backstage area, so there\u2019s a chance this match could even be uglier than Saturday\u2019s match.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Punk can\u2019t afford more damage to his body, so he needs to be one hundred percent before facing Rollins.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Seth \u201cFreakin&#8217;\u201d Rollins Has a Lot on His Plate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s no secret that Rollins has a massive problem to deal with in <strong>Bronson Reed<\/strong>. He\u2019s furious with Reed for nearly ending his career with six tsunamis. Reed wasn\u2019t on<em> Raw<\/em>, but Rollins made it clear that he wanted Reed in a match as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was also some tension with the Intercontinental Champion<strong> Jey Uso<\/strong>, as he interrupted Rollins before he could finish his promo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Triple H<\/strong> likes to give out subtle hints for future storylines, whether backstage or in the ring so that interaction might be useful to remember in a few weeks or months. Rollins is focused on other competitors, so it\u2019s wise to keep him and Punk separated for the time being.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>When Should Punk vs. Rollins Be Held?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In WWE, things are always in a state of change, with constant debuting wrestlers, injuries, and title changes. Punk might come back to a whole different company if his hiatus stretches to months rather than weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With only six months left until <em><strong>WrestleMania<\/strong><\/em>, the creative team has lots of time to get this feud right.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s safe to say that Paradise, Nevada, is the place for the match to go down, as this is a &#8216;Mania-worthy feud with two people who truly hate each other. Lots of things might go down, some things even involving those two, between now and April.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever and wherever it happens, CM Punk vs. Seth \u201cFreakin\u201d Rollins will be a match that\u2019s guaranteed to be memorable.<\/p>\n<h3>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h3>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/span><\/em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
