CM Punk and Seth Rollins are set to collide tonight on the premiere episode of Monday Night Raw on Netflix, and there’s a fascinating stat that makes their matchup even more unique. Despite their long and storied careers, this will only be the second time these two have faced off in a singles match.

Their first encounter took place over a decade ago, on December 30, 2013, during an episode of Raw. That match remains their only one-on-one contest, whether in WWE or their earlier wrestling days. Now, 11 years later, they’ll meet again, bringing their rivalry back to the forefront.

This bout carries additional weight as it marks Punk’s first match on Raw since January 20, 2014, when he wrestled Billy Gunn. Rollins, on the other hand, has been taking shots at Punk ever since his return at Survivor Series 2023. Originally planned for WrestleMania 40, their clash was delayed due to Punk’s injury, making tonight’s match even more significant.

With the Netflix era of Monday Night Raw kicking off, this rare statistic adds another layer of intrigue to an already high-stakes showdown. Fans will be watching closely to see how Punk and Rollins deliver in their long-awaited rematch.
