A WWE legend has made his stance clear on the 'winner' of tonight's face-off featuring CM Punk and Seth Rollins.

Punk and Rollins aren't fond of each other in the least. Ever since Punk returned to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023, fans have been wanting to see him have a face-off with The Visionary. It finally happened tonight, and the two veterans engaged in a war of words on RAW.

Seth Rollins didn't hold back and referred to CM Punk as a fraud. He also clarified that he hated him but added that he wanted him on the red brand. Rollins also hinted at a future World Heavyweight Championship match pitting the two stars. In response, Punk declared himself a Royal Rumble 2024 entrant and said he would come after Rollins when he wins the annual free-for-all.

Soon after, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the epic promo battle. Check out his tweet below:

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.
