Tonight’s WWE RAW preview features the fallout of Survivor Series, which included CM Punk’s return. While many fans and professionals were excited about the revelation, that wasn’t the case for Seth Rollins. However, their issues may be mediated by another former AEW star.
After almost a decade away from the Stamford-based promotion, CM Punk returned at the end of this year’s Survivor Series event. While the former AEW star was out, he threw shots against the company. One superstar who voiced his thoughts about Punk was Seth Rollins, who wasn’t too happy upon learning of his return. Both stars could finally meet again tonight on WWE RAW, but Cody Rhodes could ensure peace, even if it’s just for the moment.
Cody has already had experience of mediating tensions between superstars. He was the one who brought Jey Uso to RAW and managed to get important members of the roster to call a truce with him after his actions while in The Bloodline, barring Drew McIntyre.
Cody could reason to Seth that Punk was just like Rhodes, a person who exited WWE due to their treatment, threw shots at them while at “the other place,” but managed to reconcile and set aside their differences. The American Nightmare could also say that if he and Rollins could bury the hatchet for a while, they could do it too.
In this way, the tension between Punk and Rollins could remain but wouldn’t explode immediately on WWE RAW and other upcoming weekly shows. They could save their feud for WrestleMania 40 and have an intense build.
