CM Punk and Seth Rollins, the pillars of Monday Night RAW, are set to face each other in a singles match on RAW's premiere on Netflix on January 6, 2025. While many believe this match will settle their feud, the majority feel it will lead to a second match at WrestleMania 41 next year.
However, if recent reports are to be believed, there is a chance Punk vs. Rollins 2 might not take place at WrestleMania 41. During a recent Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, WrestleVotes revealed that WWE is looking to book Punk in a World Championship setting next year.
Further, WrestleVotes added that they do not see Punk challenging Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. This means that The Second City Saint will most likely be challenging World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. However, as per WrestleVotes, Punk won't win the title from The Ring General.

If that's the case, then WWE could once again put the World Heavyweight Title on Seth Rollins, and CM Punk could then challenge him for the gold. While there are a lot of possibilities that could happen at WrestleMania 41, it seems like Punk might become World Champion again in 2025.
The stakes of the match between CM Punk and Seth Rollins have increased after a major announcement
The animosity between CM Punk and Seth Rollins is like no other. Since Punk made his WWE return at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023, Rollins has made his dislike for Punk very clear. This animosity, mixed with the fact that they will be fighting at RAW's debut on Netflix, makes this a high-stakes match.
However, after a recent announcement, the stakes of this match have increased even more. Earlier today, WWE hosted the RAW on Netflix Kickoff show. During this show, Michael Cole revealed that Punk and Rollins would be headlining RAW on January 6.
This is a massive turn for both superstars because the January 6 edition of the red brand is set to feature a Tribal Combat match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. Along with this, superstars like The Rock and John Cena are all advertised to appear.
Hence, headlining an event of such high magnitude is indeed a moment of pride and responsibility for CM Punk and Seth Rollins. It will be very interesting to see how these two superstars perform on January 6, and it will also be interesting to see who walks out with the win.
