CM Punk is officially stepping back into a WWE Raw ring for the first time in nearly 11 years. On January 6, 2025, WWE Raw makes its massive Netflix debut at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, and Punk will square off with Seth Rollins in a marquee showdown.

Ringside News confirmed this will be Punk’s first match on Raw since January 20, 2014. That night, Punk defeated Billy Gunn with his signature Go to Sleep finisher, capping off what would ultimately be one of his last appearances before his exit from WWE later that year. Now, Punk’s return to Raw comes at a pivotal moment for WWE as the company embarks on its groundbreaking streaming partnership with Netflix.

The clash with Rollins is fitting, considering their years-long war of words and mutual disdain. WWE has been building toward this moment for months, and the Netflix premiere provides the perfect stage for the two to finally settle the score.

Punk’s return to Raw raises the stakes for both men and adds even more fire to WWE’s new chapter. Whether it’s redemption for Punk or another notch in Rollins’ belt, fans will be locked in to see who comes out on top.
