CM Punk emerged victorious against Seth Rollins in the main event of WWE RAW’s historic Netflix premiere at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The match, which went into overtime, concluded with Punk executing two Go To Sleep finishers to secure the win.
The intense battle saw Rollins delivering a Pedigree on the announce table, injuring his knee in the process. Despite landing another Pedigree in the ring, Rollins couldn’t capitalize as Punk countered a top-rope move into his signature GTS.
Following the match, Punk addressed the media about his ongoing rivalry with Rollins:
I’d love to say that was the one and only time that I have to deal with Seth Rollins, but we know that’s not going to be the truth.
The Second City Savior reflected on the physical toll of his finisher after experiencing it from his opponent:
I’ve been driving my knee into people’s faces for years, and I’m starting to feel bad about it. After taking a couple of those from Seth tonight, I can honestly say it sucks.
In another development from RAW’s Netflix debut, The Rock made an unexpected announcement during the show. Following an intense promo and an emotional reunion with Roman Reigns, The Great One revealed his plans to appear on NXT New Year’s Evil.
