Seth Rollins and CM Punk are finally set to clash against each other on WWE RAW's debut on Netflix. Now, a recent report has also possibly shed light on The Visionary's opponent at WrestleMania 41.
Rollins and Punk have taken things to the next level in their feud on Monday Night RAW in recent weeks. While many expected the storyline to conclude at The Show of Shows, Triple H and Co. apparently have completely different plans.
According to Ibou of WrestlePurists, Rollins facing World Heavyweight Champion Gunther at WWE WrestleMania 41 seems to be the plan, at least as of last week:
"As already revealed by Ibou on WP Worldwide on Monday, as of last week, Seth Rollins vs GUNTHER at WrestleMania 41 seems to be the plan," tweeted the WrestlePurists X handle.

WWE veteran impressed by Seth Rollins and CM Punk's segment on RAW
CM Punk and Seth Rollins had a heated face-to-face confrontation on the last Monday Night RAW of 2024. They took numerous jibes before having an angry staredown.
While speaking on the Story Time with Dutch Mantell podcast, the WWE veteran praised the segment involving Punk and Rollins, adding that the two stars "work well together." Mantell felt that their in-ring encounter on January 6 would be worth watching if it matches the intensity of the promo battles:
"I think of the better interviews [segments] I've heard in several years. I think those guys [Seth Rollins & CM Punk] work well together," he said. "I think CM Punk though, he cut to the quick as they say, and I think he brought blood first and that made me want to see the first. So I want to see if they can put this intensity that they had in that promo [battle] if they can put that in their match, it'd be worth seeing," he added. [From 37:24 to 38:23]
It will be interesting to see how Triple H books Rollins vs. Punk on RAW's Netflix premiere, and if seeds are planted for their WrestleMania 41 storylines on the show.
