CM Punk and Seth Rollins met yet again, and things got physical this time. This had never happened until now, but not only did that transpire, but a huge heel turn was also teased in the process.

CM Punk and Seth Rollins had a momentary face-off on the RAW after Bad Blood 2024. It was then that a disillusioned and beaten-up Punk came out to express uncertainty over his future. Rollins let him go without much resistance, presumably because of his physical state.

This time, that wasn't the case. Punk expressed his WrestleMania dreams, and Rollins said he should have put CM Punk out of his misery. Punk said something that ticked Rollins off. When they confronted each other last year, Rollins had something he wanted - the World Heavyweight Championship. But now that he is no longer the Champion, Punk said he had no interest in him whatsoever.

He compared it to running with people he didn't even know he was racing. All of this fueled Rollins to give Punk a shove - marking the first time they got physical. Rollins' mannerisms seemed to tease a future heel turn, although many would argue that he was justified in his actions. Sami Zayn and Jey Uso were quick to come out and separate the two.

Even other WWE officials came out to shove them, and CM Punk's rejection of Seth Rollins seemed to hit a nerve with The Visionary.

It is still believed that the two will clash at WrestleMania 41. They were initially slated to headline Night 1 of WrestleMania 40 this year.

Things are going to get interesting on the road to WrestleMania 41.
