On this week’s Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins made his intentions clear that he wants a fight with CM Punk. In a backstage confrontation with Adam Pearce, Rollins demanded the match be made official, but Pearce urged both men to cool their tempers first, saying:
“If Punk and Rollins would stop trying to pull each other’s eyes out, I’d be able to make that match official and do my job.”
As Rollins turned away from Pearce, he found himself face-to-face with Drew McIntyre, adding another layer of tension to the night.

“I’m going to do what you couldn’t—take out CM Punk.”
