Seth Rollins causes CM Punk to lose at the Elimination Chamber

Seemingly, CM Punk’s last chance to main event a WrestleMania match this year was to win the Elimination Chamber match. The Chicago native has been embroiled in a feud with former world champion Seth Rollins for quite some time. After defeating Rollins on the debut edition of RAW on Netflix, Punk attempted to win the Royal Rumble. He was one of the final two wrestlers in last year’s Rumble match but fell short to Rhodes. This year, he had “The Visionary” to worry about.

After Punk eliminated former Shield members Rollins and Roman Reigns during the Royal Rumble match, Rollins went ballistic—not only attacking Reigns but also brawling with Punk. The animosity between the two escalated leading up to the Elimination Chamber event.

After being eliminated by Punk in the Elimination Chamber, Rollins viciously attacked him, delivering a skull-crushing Curb Stomp, giving John Cena an opening to apply an STF submission on Punk. Cena won the Chamber match, securing his ticket to WrestleMania. As for Punk, his focus immediately shifted to Rollins. The two clashed again on RAW the following night, leading to a brutal steel cage match at the World’s Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden, on the March 10th edition of RAW. That match saw the shocking return of the Tribal Chief.

A triple-threat match is now inevitable—and when it happens, it’s going to be a game-changer.
