Returning WWE icon to cost CM Punk against Seth Rollins on RAW; turn heel after 892 days? Exploring possible swerve

CM Punk and Seth Rollins have been on a collision course for over a year. Both superstars will lock horns in a high-voltage clash next week on RAW's debut on Netflix. However, the outcome of this match could unfold in a way that might leave fans flabbergasted. A WWE icon and a beloved babyface could make a shocking return on the red brand to cost Punk the bout.

After months of being away from WWE, Becky Lynch could be gearing up for a comeback as speculation about her return has been gaining momentum lately. Interestingly, she was heavily referenced during the fiery promo battle between CM Punk and Seth Rollins on RAW last night. Punk mentioned Lynch's hiatus while taking shots at The Visionary, which raised a lot of eyebrows.

These references could be the harbinger of what is about to unfold next week. In a shocking turn of events, Becky Lynch could return during the Punk vs. Rollins match and help her husband defeat The Best in the World. The multi-time Women's Champion could officially turn heel along with The Visionary, leaving the WWE Universe stunned in silence.

Such an angle would not only protect CM Punk's status after a potential loss but would also garner instant heat for Lynch. Big Time Becks is currently speculated to get involved during the Women's World Title match between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley. However, with Triple H's era known for unpredictability, The Game could pivot from this and choose to feature The Man in Seth Rollins' storyline.

Such a massive swerve would add even more intrigue to the ongoing rivalry between Punk and Rollins. Additionally, RAW has been lacking significant heels in the women's division. Therefore, the return of Becky Lynch as a villain would add a fresh dynamic in the women's division. If this scenario unfolds, it will mark the first heel turn of The Man in 892 days, with her last one spanning from September 3, 2021 to July 29, 2022.

But will Triple H make this happen? Only time will tell. The above scenario is purely speculation.

Becky Lynch's return to prompt AJ Lee's involvement with CM Punk?

Becky Lynch was a prominent part of the promo between CM Punk and Seth Rollins on RAW. References about her strongly hint towards her potential involvement in that blockbuster feud. Big Time Beck's return could prompt AJ Lee's involvement in the Rollins vs. Punk feud down the line.

Since The Second City Saint made his return in 2023 at Survivor Series: WarGames, fans have been clamoring to see AJ Lee as well. While there have been various occasions where the former Divas Champion could have made her return, the rumors have always been untrue. However, the current storyline between CM Punk and Seth Rollins seems to be the perfect time.

If the abovementioned scenario unfolds and Becky Lynch sides with The Visionary, AJ Lee could come back to the aid of her husband. Her return could also set up a mixed tag team match, where she could team up with CM Punk to take on Rollins and Lynch in the future. It would be an apt high-profile program to prompt the return of the 37-year-old in the WWE ring.

While the possibility is intriguing, only time will tell how the future of this story unfolds moving forward on RAW on Netflix.
