Seth Rollins vs CM Punk

Ever since CM Punk made his shock return to the WWE by appearing on Fox's WWE Backstage, Seth Rollins has been trying to get a feud going with Punk. Rollins first took a swipe at Punk on Twitter before expressing his desire to face the former WWE Champion inside the ring once again. Now on WWE RAW, Rollins finally mocked CM Punk on live television by branding him a 'coward'. He was quoted as saying, "I tried to get him here. He wants to sit in LA and talk about a change that he’s too afraid to make himself."

The main event of the episode ended on a cliffhanger after AOP attacked Seth Rollin's opponent Kevin Owens before Rollins himself completed the thrashing by stomping Owens twice.

Does Seth Rollins lay the groundwork for a blockbuster clash?

CM Punk himself has put cold water over rumours of his return to the squared circle, insisting he is only hired by FOX and not by WWE at the moment.
