This Monday at the Netflix RAW Premiere, we are going to witness history as WWE RAW is not only moving to OTT for the first time, they have also arranged an amazing card for the show including some big returns, huge segments, and definitely some unexpected surprises that may blow our minds.
The rumored main event of the show is dream match that had been loading for a long time; Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk. This match was heavily rumored for WrestleMania 40 but Punk got injured at the Royal Rumble event and he missed the show. Later, Rollins also got injured and we had to wait for this feud for quite a long time.

The match is finally set for Netflix RAW Premiere and WWE promoted this match in an excellent way. The promo and hype packages were also excellent. Seth Rollins recently starred as a guest on Good Morning Football where he promoted this rivalry even more when he attacked Punk verbally, again. He said;
“Yeah, it’s a long time coming. CM Punk and I were friends. I mean, he was a mentor to me in real life. He helped train me, he helped guide me, and I used his career kind of as a blueprint for my own. We had cut from the same cloth a little bit, and then he betrayed me. He kind of turns his back on me.

“And not only that, he then tried to kind of tear down my success over the years, and I have been successful not because of him and his inspiration, but in spite of him and everything he’s done to try to take me down.
“So he’s come back to sort of wave the WWE flag after 10 years of being gone, where, like I said, he tried to tear down what we were doing. Now, he’s sort of like, yay, I’m back. Look at me. And I don’t really appreciate that, so I’m gonna try to punch him in his face here in a few days.”

“I mean, it’s going to be huge,” Seth Rollins continued, “This is, without a doubt, the biggest step forward in the history of our industry. That’s not an understatement. We’re off cable for the first time in 30 years, going to streaming, the biggest streaming network on the planet. It’s going to be incredible. I’m really excited about this. This is for the future of our industry. This is as big as it gets.”

This is definitely not going to be the end of this feud since this is just the first match of the series. A large number of fans are expecting this feud to continue at least WrestleMania 41. Previously, a triple threat match for the World Heavyweight title was rumored with these two and Drew McIntyre but now it seems like the chances for this match are less.
