@@FrederickChampaguno absolutely no idea what happened to him. Probably living off Anna Jay’s paycheque. 😂 Oh yes, let’s not forget Tony Khan as well. Felt his life in danger around Punk, but had no problem with Excalibur choking out Jimmy Havoc right in front of him. 😂

[@Pezech7]

@@FatherJacksBrick I swear the fans who are just split one or the other are absolutely the worst. Punk attacked Khan, no shit he’d feel in fear of his safety around him.

[@jmannxiiiaaron]

This footage actually confirms Seth's meltdown afterwards is a work for anyone who was thinking it was real. He's not only obviously putting on a tantrum for the crowd right after Punk's music hits (throwing his belt, asking the ref what's going on, asking JD if they had something to do with this, etc.), but at 2:18 you can see the in-ring camera man is shooting Seth's reaction alone, which is footage we haven't seen yet. I'm sure that footage will be used on RAW to start a program between Seth and Punk.

[@IASP17]

I think so too. even if Seth really doesnt like Punk, I think he will be a pro and work with him like he did with Riddle. he wont cause trouble like those guys in AEW did.

[@kurtisbased183]

cant wait for cm punk vs dirty dom, the promos will be hilarious

[@lagofala]

Precisely. Rollins ain't stupid. He just put himself as the 1st one in a CM Punk return program.

[@JC_1997]

Seth knows this is business and together, they guarantee $$$

[@2Good2BeTrue45]

Uh no. You guys really think human beings can't get feelings mixed up in the moment and lose themselves. No matter how professional you are, you can't still get emotional, lose your temper and have your real emotions show through. Regardless, Seth will do business, because that is his job. Triple H will decide what CM Punk does from here, not Seth and Seth certainly wasn't thinking about that in the moment. Also, all certainly crew records everything even when the show goes off the air, they have always done this even back in the 80's so what you are saying is a common industry practice, not some new revelation

CM Punk gets to finish his story and main event WrestleMania against Seth 🔥

[@sov839]

I wish but seth won't lose to Punk i wouldn't think and idk if him losing is giving him his WM moment. It also wouldn't Main Event over Reigns and Rhodes (presumably) unless they main event on night 1 or something which ngl I'd have thought they'd give to a female headliner.

[@Rytnix4279rs]

​@@sov839It would be better neither punk nor Seth win. It would be better if they go with Damien cashing in on Seth vs Punk night 1 and actually him being the world champion

@@Rytnix4279rsPunk wins but is immediately attacked by JD and he cashes in on Punk

[@andrewvincent7299]

I hate Punk but I would be down for that as long as Seth gets that last match main event on WrestleMania and goes over. Punk is in the twilight of his career, there is no reason for him not to put Seth over. Especially since Seth busted his ass for TEN YEARS for WWE after Punk quit because he didn't get his way. Give him the main event but not the win. Reward loyalty not temper tantrums.

No one's talking about the beautiful moment the Judgement Day had at 5:31 in the middle of the ring. This is a match they will never forget.

Yeah was stoked to. Glad they kept Cult of Personality for his intro. When you heard that song crank up on AEW you knew you were about to see the highlight of that show. Hated to see his run at that company get derailed by a bunch of dipshits. People talking about how Punk is WWE’s problem now don’t understand that WWE doesn’t tolerate people going into business for themselves.

[@thorthegodofthunder9150]

It's times like these that I hate that phones have noise cancelling features in the mic because I feel like the volume of the pop got lost. All the same, this is a really cool perspective of what went down and I really appreciate that you shared it!

[@Crow5537]

My opinion on Seth reaction I feel is one of those playing the middle he may very well not be ecstatic that Punk is back and Punk could very well be taking his title which may add to the anger but I just don’t buy with how long this has been going on that Seth just now all of sudden is at this point of rage and needs to be held back by…. Michael Cole lmaooo but what I do know is Triple H just got me to actually want to tune into a 3 hour Monday night Raw for the first time since 2014

[@ashleywintle572]

Exactly the Michael Cole thing gave it away, if they got Cody to hold him back it would be 100% believable that it’s real

[@xalerion6996]

nah I don't think that CM Punk gets the title, feels very off. But it's very likely they are headlining night 1 of wrestlemania with punk losing. I imagine he doesn't want the title, but its very exciting he's back. Raw will not be on repeat every week from now on which is lit. CM Punk getting interrupted by JD and getting face to face with Dom would be funny. I imagine him opening the raw this monday getting interrupted by JD or Seth most likely.

[@Crow5537]

@@ashleywintle572or the fact Randy and others are just chilling in the ring cracking jokes lol even Rhea is seen in the back laughing at Seth screaming at Punk

[@Crow5537]

@@xalerion6996never said for sure he was taking it but that’s the only logical thing I could think of that could make Seth act like that in front of the crowd, I’d be shocked if he didn’t open the show unless they really wanna milk it for all they can and have him start off the 2nd hour maybe

[@xalerion6996]

There's a lot of epic possibilities with CM Punk back it's so exciting man, hopefully those who hates him patch things up and be a professional. I imagine Seth sucking it up and work with him, he'll openly say how he hates punk on Raw like he did with Cody or Riddle.

[@thevoicelesswriter]

The fact that they are already facing the entrance before his music hit shows that they already knew he was coming and any reaction afterwards is for kayfabe.

[@zulkiflitew7779]

It looks like a great work to build tention into an upcoming feud. This angle tells a bit of a story . In this camera angle you can see Punk turns his back and starts heading to the back and then Seth starts flipping the bird and swearing. Punk would not have seen Seth freaking out at him. Why did Seth wait until Punk's back was turned and he was heading to the back before flippig him off??

[@shuipsezairi6527]

You can see Cole and Cory leave the desk to get into position for Seth to freak out

[@jevaniepennant2477]

Ya punk didn’t do anything it’s gotta be a work definitely

[@JamesWilsonMD]

Dude go outside and touch grass.. it's all a work, they are likely chatting about it as mates backstage. You need to grow up.

[@sruohua]

Also Seth wasn't doing anything until one of the guys wearing a headset went near the cage and said something to Sami, which Sami then said to Seth. You can also see Seth looking at Corey to get into position before he started to go out the cage, and the referee immediately followed after checking up on Orton as if he knew what was about to happen.

[@Mo-fu9sm]

@@JamesWilsonMD yeah for real. these neck beard mouth breather fans think that just cos Punk fought with their clown EVPs (even though EVPs were the ones that kicked his door down) that nobody likes punk and everyone who say they hate him really means it and it's not a work 😂

[@MrBostonrobb]

No body does big time production and execution better than the WWE. The WWE continues to create the biggest moments in all of Professional Wrestling, Sports Entertainment and all of Pro Sports. They just gave a guy his biggest career moment and as big of a Pro Wrestling moment since Austin with KO at Wrestlemania. He didn't say a word on the mic or make any Wrestling moves and hadn't been in a WWE ring since his sour departure. It tops his AEW 1st appearance pop and us right up there with an Austin and Rock surprise crowd pop.

[@gator9339]

0:39 By Randy's reaction as CM Punk's music started, he must have known just before he came out during the match. You can see Seth show his frustration and Randy not showing any reaction to it.

They had it ready to go, but didn't put it out while thr show was going. That would give it away. From what I got from the HHH press conference Is that they kept it a tight secret. Only the ones that needed to know, knew it was happening. I don't think Rollins was acting on a script.
