The WWE RAW after Bad Blood kicked off with a recap of Saturday's events before CM Punk made his entrance. Punk was limping after the brutal match. He had bandages on his head and face, and his left arm was wrapped up with a wrist brace.
He said that he was in no condition to walk to the ring and that it didn't feel like he won. Punk thanked the fans, his peers, and his haters, saying that he turned their hate into cash. He said that he was going to go home and see his wife and didn't know when we were going to see him next.

As Punk was about to walk out, Seth Rollins made his entrance, smiled at him, and then pushed him aside as he walked to the ring. Rollins said that he had to do the right thing and wished Punk a speedy recovery, but added that the sooner he gets back, the sooner he can 'kick his a** and retire him for good.
Rollins then said that he wanted revenge on Bronson Reed and challenged him to a match at a time and place of his choosing. The Visionary was then interrupted by Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso, whose entrance music was revamped. Uso got on the ropes to hype the crowd, and Rollins shrugged before walking off as we headed for a break on RAW.
