#2 Seth Rollins (CM Punk targeted)

Seth Rollins and CM Punk had an intriguing social media feud back in 2019

As soon as CM Punk made his first appearance on WWE Backstage, it took the wrestling world by storm and speculation began running wild on social media. Several WWE Superstars reacted to the appearance, but Seth Rollins took it a bit too far and immediately challenged Punk to a fight. This kicked off an intense social media feud between the two, with Punk verbally destroying Rollins on WWE Backstage and telling him to stop tweeting.

This back and forth led to many believing that it could be WWE's way to set up a feud between the two and that it could lead to a WrestleMania match, but nothing of that sort happened. Rollins eventually challenged Punk to a match at 'Mania, but the latter hadn't come back to lace up his boots.

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

The bottom line is, wherever whenever he wants to do the thing, if he wants to man up and do it - I’m there. For me, the only place this match happens is WrestleMania in the main event, because that’s the only reason I’m picking a fight with him.

WWE Backstage is history, and we are not sure where CM Punk goes from here. Fans would wait anxiously for his every appearance on the show. Hopefully, he returns to the world of pro-wrestling again someday, in some capacity.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
