Will a legendary WWE performer leave Monday Night RAW following a crushing defeat to a fierce rival? Examining possible angles

Seth Rollins’ loss to CM Punk in the main event of RAW‘s Netflix debut has set the stage for significant developments in the ongoing rivalry between the two WWE Superstars. Rollins, who had vowed to defeat Punk, appeared visibly dejected after the defeat, and the emotional fallout from this setback could lead him to take a break from RAW. Some speculate that Rollins might choose to step away from the spotlight temporarily, processing the disappointment of failing to meet his own high expectations.

A potential dramatic return for Rollins at the Royal Rumble next month could be in the works, with the possibility of him entering the 30-man Royal Rumble match, where Punk is also expected to compete. A shocking twist could see Rollins eliminate Punk, reigniting their feud and setting the stage for a clash at WrestleMania 41.

There is also the possibility that Rollins’ frustration with the loss could lead to a heel turn, especially after his intense vow to unleash his darker side and destroy Punk in their next encounters. A heel turn could be Rollins’ way of dealing with the emotional toll of his defeat, adding another layer to his character and intensifying the feud with Punk.

While much of this remains speculative, the future of Rollins and Punk’s rivalry promises to keep fans on edge. A series of matches between them could be in the cards, with the potential for Rollins to go down a darker path, creating a dynamic that elevates both superstars.
