CM Punk made his shocking return to RAW and went straight after his heated rival, Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
Seth "Freakin" Rollins had his Wiseman, Paul Heyman, manipulate Main Event Jey Uso into putting his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against him. The Visionary had his cohort, Bron Breakker and Heyman by his side and was about to win his 6th World title in the process. However, the return of his heated foe, CM Punk, shattered those plans, who came to Omaha this week for some revenge.

CM Punk made his return to RAW this week

The opening segment of Monday Night RAW this week saw Paul Heyman confronting Jey Uso in the ring. The Wiseman launched a verbal rant on the WWE Universe for calling him a scumbag and the man to betray CM Punk and Roman Reigns. Following a verbal explosion, Heyman said that Seth Rollins has to be the World Champion and goaded Jey Uso into putting his title on the line against him. The YEET man offered to do it this week itself and the match was made official.
It was set to be the main event of the show with Rollins and Uso delivering an exciting showdown that captivate the audience in attendance. Towards the end, Bron Breakker tried to run interfere, however, Sami Zayn came from the crowd to neutrilize his threat. However, Breakker was able to put him away and also deliver a spear to Jey Uso on the outside of the ring.

He then sent Jey into the ring and Seth Rollins got the opportunity to hit the Pedigree. Just as the Revolutionary was closing in on the victory, CM Punk's music hit and The Best in the World came out with a chair. He first took out Bron Breakker on the entrance ramp and then headed to the ring to attack Rollins with the chair as well.

The Visionary managed to get out of the ring as he regrouped with Breakker and Heyman on the entrance ramp. With CM Punk back in the mix, it will be interesting to see him exact his revenge on all three of them.
