Last Monday on RAW, a huge main event was set where CM Punk and Sami Zayn had a huge one on one match. It was a qualifying match for the men's Elimination Chamber match at the upcoming Elimination Chamber PLE. John Cena was the first wrestler to get a bye for this match. The second participant was determined through this huge match.

Punk defeated Sami Zayn in this match fair and square and became the second wrestler to qualify for the men's Elimination Chamber match on March 1. Four more wrestlers are yet to be confirmed for the Elimination Chamber. So we can expect to see more qualifying matches from both SmackDown and RAW.

The match between this iconic duo was really amazing and without any doubt, it was a PLE standard match. It could easily main event any big event.

CM Punk defeated Sami Zayn on RAW last week

“I love, love, loved Sami versus CM Punk. When I watched it, I had the feeling that these two guys did not like each other for real … I would say these are two of the greats going at it because when two guys that have never wrestled each other and have that chemistry, just off the charts. They reminded me of Flair, Steamboat that I’ve seen live many times of just going at it when there was an opening.”

Kevin Owens attacked Sami Zayn after CM Punk defeated Zayn

“He’s [Zayn] been involved in so many different stories and now he’s involved in another one with Kevin Owens, which will be told what the hell happened and this friendship is now fragmented again. After they shake hands, Punk goes to leave and a blindside attack. Hopefully CM Punk watches Monday Night Raw like we all do and he goes and says, ‘Hey I saw that wasn’t you that hit me and it was Kevin Owens.’”

Additionally, Zayn was attacked by his real life best friend Kevin Owens. It was a brutal beat down and Sami was instantly rushed to the hospital after this attack. There are strong reports that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will have a huge one on one match at WrestleMania 41. Moreover, this match can definitely be the show stealer.
