It's amazing to think that CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins was supposed to happen at 'Mania 40. Punk's injury derailed those plans, and Seth ended up dropping the World Heavyweight Title to Drew McIntyre instead. Then, Damian Priest cashed in and it seems Rollins will take some time out to heal his own injury worries.

File Punk vs. Rollins under 'matches that got away...for now'.

Triple H will dig up their history once both men are back fit and firing. Remarkably, WWE can even wait until next year's WrestleMania to make a bout that was meant to go down in 2024 happen in 2025. Even better, there'd be a cool twist on things - Seth would be the clear villain, 'cause people backstage had accepted Punk properly by then.

Even McIntyre would be finished trolling the guy. Respect would be earned between that pair over hearty World Title battles in late-2024, then Punk would march on to 'Mania season with the big gold belt. A returning Rollins wouldn't be able to stomach that one.
