The 46-year-old defeated LA Knight and Jey Uso to become the number one contender for Seth Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship. The Vision betrayed Rollins this past Monday night on WWE RAW and beat him down at the end of the show. It has since been rumored that Rollins is dealing with a legitimate injury following his victory over Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel.
Vince Russo reacts to CM Punk's victory on WWE RAW
Former WWE writer Vince Russo believes Seth Rollins will lose the World Heavyweight Championship before defending it against CM Punk.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Russo suggested that Bron Breakker should be the star to dethrone The Visionary. He added that Punk should then have to challenge Breakker for the World Heavyweight Championship and noted that it would be something new on WWE television.
"I think what's going to happen is because, bro, seriously, they're going to go to the well again with Punk and Rollins. You guys are going to go there again. I would assume, bro, I would assume one of these two guys, probably Breakker, I mean, I would always assume it's Breakker [who] is going to take [the belt]. If it were me, I'd have Breakker take the belt off of Seth and then Breakker and Punk, because at least that's something new. But my god, they can't go back to that CM Punk-Seth Rollins well," Russo said.You can check out the video below:
Triple H claimed that Punk had something to prove earlier this week and revealed that he was on the poster for Saturday Night's Main Event on November 1. Only time will tell if The Voice of the Voiceless can capture the World Heavyweight Championship in the weeks ahead.
