13-time champion to cost CM Punk his match against Seth Rollins on WWE RAW Netflix? Exploring the possibility

Former World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and CM Punk have been embroiled in a heated rivalry on WWE RAW. Both stars are all set to lock horns in a singles match in just a few hours on the premiere episode of Monday Night RAW on Netflix. A recent hint dropped by WWE suggests that a 13-time champion could return and cost The Straight Edge Superstar his bout.

The latest episode of the red brand show closed with an intense promo war between CM Punk and Seth Rollins. Many felt that both men went off-script and crossed some lines numerous times during the segment.

Recently, WWE rolled out a drone show in collaboration with Netflix, showcasing the logos of some superstars featured on the show, including names like Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley, Seth Rollins, and John Cena. The video even featured the signature logo of the 13-time champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin, sparking rumors about him making a surprise return at RAW on Netflix.

In a shocking turn of events, Stone Cold Steve Austin could return and cost CM Punk his match against Seth Rollins. During their verbal battle on RAW last week, Punk mentioned Stone Cold Steve Austin, asking whether The Rattlesnake took his ball and went home similarly in the past. While it seemed like a throwaway line, it could cause the former six-time world champion and two-time Intercontinental Champion to take offense at his actions being questioned.

This could lead to a showdown between The Rattlesnake and The Second City Saint at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas this year. Steve Austin made a stupendous in-ring return at WrestleMania 38, where he clashed with Kevin Owens in a No Holds Barred match.

While speaking on the Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez podcast, Stone Cold Steve Austin expressed that he wanted to be a part of WrestleMania 41. Punk would be a perfect comeback match for Steve, as a bout between the icons has been one of the biggest dream matches fans have been manifesting for years.

CM Punk also dropped a Vince McMahon reference on RAW

During the promo battle between CM Punk and Seth Rollins last week on Monday Night RAW, The Second City Saint mentioned that Seth was the favorite of the man in charge then, someone Punk hated then. This indirect hint at Vince McMahon was used to deliver a personal shot at the former World Heavyweight Champion.

The Visionary wasn’t far behind when it came to crossing the line too, as he referenced WWE’s rival company, AEW, and took a personal shot at Punk not having any children.

However, this is all speculative for now. It remains to be seen what plans Triple H-led creative has in store for Punk and Seth Rollins in the coming months.
