WWE RAW REPORT: THE TOURNAMENT CONTINUES, A BIG MATCH FOR JANUARY 6TH, THE JUDGMENT DAY FACE PUNISHMENT . . . WITH HONOR, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2024-12-16 22:00:00

Your announcers are Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett.

We see the champions who are defending their titles later tonight walking in the arena.

We see the package pile driver that Kevin Owens gave Cody Rhodes after Saturday Night's Main Event ended.

CM Punk makes his way to the ring.

Punk tells the crowd to be careful chanting his name because someone might not like it.  Punk points out a fan in New York clothing.  Punk says he is feeling a little low.  He is in a bit of a bad mood.  Two weeks ago, he told Seth Rollins, after he told Punk he spends a lot of time thinking about Punk but he does not think about Seth.  Punk says whatever this thing is between them, he cannot side step it because it is a matter of time before they lock up in the ring.  Punk says he is upset because he enjoys coming to this ring to talk to his people and he feels like it will always be overshadowed by the fact that at some point, that stupid music is going to hit.  Then he will come out tip toeing to the ring, dressed like Liberace.  Punk says Liberace is cool as hell, so he is not insulting him.  Punk says just because you wear Elton John sunglasses, it does not make you Elton John.  Because you grew up idolizing me does not make you CM Punk.

Punk says Seth came out with a straight face and he said that Punk ghosted him.  Punk says he is not here to litigate the past.  He is looking to the future and he didn't think it would be about Seth but it looks like it is.  Punk asks the crowd if they have ever been a bad boy in their lives.  Punk says he is the bad guy in this situation because there is no such thing as a bad student.  Only bad teachers.  Seth is CM Punk's failure.  Punk says he is ready to try again and train Seth.  He will give Seth the wrestling lesson he asked for years ago and for free.

Punk says the last time who tried to deal with him was Drew McIntyre.  He asks Seth if he is tougher than Drew.  Punk says Seth might think he does but he is not.  There are not enough staples to put you back together when we are done.  Punk says if that won't piss off Seth, he knows what will.  Punk mentions that for the seven years he was gone, he had to hear the people chant his name.

Seth is in the crowd and he starts to chant along with the rest of the crowd.  

Seth says life is about perspective and if he came out here and saw you the way that people see you, it might give him a new perspective and feel differently about you.  Seth looks at Punk and he says even from out here, you are still an ass****.  

Punk says he is overjoyed Seth didn't come out with his stupid song, you are coming from the right spot because you belong in the crowd with the CM Punk fans.

Seth says it doesn't embarrass him to be out here with the fans.  He says he is a fan and he loves this place.  Seth says he put this company on his back when Punk wanted it to die and he made it stronger.  He says Punk should be embarrassed because this fan has more Wrestlemania main events than Punk.  Seth calls Punk 'Phil'.

Punk leaves the ring and he meets Seth in the crowd and they throw punches.  Officials come out to try to stop them and they pull Seth back into the ringside area.  Punk gets over the ringside barrier and he moves past the officials like the Patriots's defense and he goes after Rollins.  Seth with a splash off the ring steps.

Seth and Punk make it into the ring and they throw a few punches before officials stop them one more time.

Punk is escorted through the crowd.

Seth says he is done because he raised his arms but he goes through the crowd and the brawl continues.

They are separated again.  

We go to the Judgment Room and Liv wonders why Finn isn't in a good mood.  Finn asks where was everyone on Saturday when he was down two to one.  Liv says they had faith in him and JD was worried about tonight's match.  Liv reminds Finn they are banned from ringside.  Liv says Raquel is ready for her match tonight.  

We go to commercial.

Seth Rollins walks in the back and Adam Pearce uses both names to yell at him.

Seth says he wants this fight.  He says this is the biggest fight you can put on.

Pearce says if they stopped trying to take care of each other, he could get something done.

Drew McIntyre tells Seth about everything with the Bloodline and he says that Roman has everyone fooled by them.  Drew says they need to take everyone out.  They need to take out Jimmy, Jey, Sami, and Roman.

Seth says he took Roman out of power already, at Wrestlemania.  Do you know who was at his side?  Jey and Sami.  He says they are his friends.  He tells Drew he is not his friend.  Friendships are forged on common interests.  He is friends with Jey and Sami, not with Drew.  He has to do what Drew couldn't do . . . end CM Punk.
